To prevent the spread of fire by conduction, you must cool the surfaces (bulkheads, decks, overheads) that are transferring the heat. Conduction is the transfer of heat through a solid material. By cooling the bulkheads, you reduce their temperature, thus stopping the heat from traveling through them and igniting combustible materials on the other side.
