What contributes to extinguishing room fires faster?
When a room is on fire, the quickest way to extinguish the flames (so that it credits the "extinguish fires" objective) is to have the room filled to capacity with non-pregnant dwellers.
Powerful guns + high Perception work to reduce the amount of time that radroaches and mole rats disturb a fully-occupied room.
Given a fully-occupied room on fire, besides maintaining occupancy, are there additional factors which reduce the amount of time it takes to extinguish a room fire? Perhaps stocking the room with dwellers who have a specific high-value SPECIAL attribute?

Room level is also a factor I had a maxed out 3 wide living quarters catch fire and it took almost a whole minute to put it out. But disasters in my level 1 3 wide hospital are handle almost instantly. (My dwellers have very strong guns there.) even when I replaced two high intelligence dwellers for two nitwits things were still just as fast.

Answer 2
In my own experience my fully expanded medical with only 2 dwellers in the room was extinguished much faster than my fully expanded kitchen that had 6 dwellers. I tried to RUSH on making food and failed ending in fire. It took them sooooooo long to put it out. Upon inspection, they are all stupid with almost no intelligence at all, whereas the medical is reliant upon high intelligence. Just my experience.
Answer 3
A room will continue to be on fire (and the fire will spread to adjoining rooms) for a specific duration then it will die out on it's own once it has spread to another room.
Surprisingly, the room that was totally burned out will automatically return to normal operation once the fire is finally extinguished.
In short, no, there is nothing else you can do to reduce the duration of the fire.
(For reference, I just tested this on my experimental vault.)
