What is Fire?

Written By Branon Hardy

In order to have a fire, there must be three elements:

  1. Fuel - combustible material or something which will ignite and burn

  2. Heat - enough heat to make to ignite the fuel and burn

  3. Oxygen - simply air


All three elements must be present at the same time to have a fire. Fire will burn until one or more of the elements is removed, then the fire will go out.
