 The Chemistry of FIRE
A result of rapid oxidation of FOUR (4) ELEMENTS ;

Heat Sources
Oxygen Sources
To Reach Ignition Temperature
Approximately 16% Open Flames - The Sun
Required Hot Surfaces
Normal air contains 21% Sparks and Arcs
O2. Some fuel materials Friction - Chemical Action
contain sufficient oxygen Electrical Energy
within their makeup to
Compression of Gases
support burning.

CHAIN REACTION ( OF THE Note:

MATERIALS )
All of these FOUR (4)
FUEL elements of fire should
combine at the right
mixture in order for fire to
occur.
