 What is fire?
Fire is what happens when a material is ignited
and combined with oxygen, resulting in
combustion. This results in light, heat, and a
visible effect that usually appears as orange or
yellow flames. Fire is hard to describe since it’s
different from the solid, liquid, and gaseous states
of matter we’re used to observing (fire is usually a
mixture of hot gases, but sometimes it’s a plasma,
depending on what’s burning). But you know it
when you see it: if you’ve ever lit a match or
candle or burned wood in a fireplace, you’ve
created fire.

FIRE
A chemical reaction that produces light and
heat is known as fire. It is an example of the
oxidizing chemical reaction. Fire is helpful,
but it is also quite hazardous because it may
burn down houses, trees, and a variety of other
objects. Forest fires are extremely dangerous.
They have the ability to destroy a large area in
a couple of seconds. Every year, individuals
are killed by fire.
FIRE
It has the ability to turn millions of dollars in
investments into ashes in a matter of seconds. In the
workplace, electricity is frequently linked to a
variety of fire hazards. Other incidents include gas
tank explosions or carelessness on the part of the
employees. Because fire mishaps are so deadly, they
must be avoided at all costs. In numerous occasions,
fire dangers have been observed in businesses that
do not have fire-fighting methods in place.
 BENEFITS
Fire is beneficial, but only when it is kept
under control. It cooks our food, keeps us
warm during the winter by keeping the chill
at home, and does so much more for us.
However, if it goes out of control, it can
cause a lot of damage. It results in
significant loss of lives and property.
Fire is vital, but only if it is kept under
control. It cooks our food, keeps us warm
in the winter by keeping the chill off and
performs a variety of other functions for us.
As a result, it is likely to be regarded as one
of humanity's greatest discoveries.
However, if it gets out of control, it may
cause a lot of devastation. It results in
significant loss of lives and property.
 DANGERS
Families displaced by flames, for example,
are forced to live in refugee camps. Fire
victims can confront nutritional, health,
psychological, and financial difficulties.
More victims are killed by smoke and
hazardous gases than by flames.
Fire depletes your oxygen supply and
produces deadly smoke and harmful
chemicals. Even little amounts of smoke
and poisonous chemicals can cause
drowsiness, confusion, and shortness of
breath. It's possible that you won't be able
to escape in time because fire is fast to
spread.
HEAT
Heat poses a greater threat than flame. The heat of a
fire is enough to kill someone. In a fire, room
temperatures can range from 100 degrees on the
floor to 600 degrees at eye level. Your lungs will be
scorched if you inhale this extremely hot air. This
heat has the ability to melt your clothing to your
flesh. A room can become so hot in five minutes that
everything in it ignites at the same time, which is
known as flashover.
COMBUSTION
Combustion is the chemical reaction that causes fire.
Flames are produced at a specific point in the
combustion reaction called the ignition point.
Carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen, and nitrogen
are the primary components of flames. Fire produces
both heat and light. Three things are required for
combustion and fire to occur: fuel, oxygen, and
energy. The front of the oxidation reaction of a gas
or vapor in an atmosphere is fire. Flames, which are
the visible part of the reaction, create a zone of
visible light in a single or mixture of tapered shapes
forming the flame, which are usually used to
identify it.
Fuel, Radiation, and Smoke are also included.
Flames have different temperature zones, with the
hottest being slightly above the flame's center due to
the highest concentration of gaseous or vaporized
fuel below the flame's center and the heat causing
the reacting fuel and oxygen molecules to rise up. It
is either a solid or a liquid that vaporizes itself or a
part of its compounds, or a gas that has been mixed
with oxygen from the air.

ABOUT FIRE
Fire isn't bright; in fact, it's completely dark. The
fire begins brightly, but quickly disappears into
black smoke and total darkness. If you wake up to a
fire, you may become blinded, disoriented, and
unable to search your home, which you have lived
in for years.

flames reaches your door, the odorless, colorless
gases can lull you into a deep sleep. It's possible
that you won't be able to escape in time.
NOT SO FUN FACT
ABOUT FIRE
Building fires have a significant negative influence
on the structures, potentially jeopardizing people's
lives and property. It has huge economic and
societal ramifications as well. Families displaced by
flames, for example, are forced to live in refugee
camps. Fire victims can confront nutritional, health,
psychological, and financial difficulties.
NOT SO FUN FACT
ABOUT FIRE
When a structure is damaged by fire, its long-term
viability is jeopardized, which has ramifications for
the surrounding environment and community
welfare. As a result, the threats posed by structure
fires must be addressed quickly and properly. This
can be accomplished by implementing fire
prevention measures.
PREVENTION

REGULARLY
2. INSPECT ALL YOUR HEATING

3. KEEP YOUR STOVE AND OVEN CLEAN
4. DON’T PLAY WITH FIRES
5. DON’T LEAVE YOUR KITCHEN IF
YOU’RE COOKING
6. MAINTAIN ALL CORDS
7. PROPERLY STORE FLAMMABLE
PRODUCTS
8. PRACTICE CAUTION WITH CANDLES
