Fire starts only when a flammable and / or a
combustible material (Fuel) comes in
combination with a sufficient amount of oxidizer such as oxygen or any other
oxygen-rich compound or non-oxygen oxidizers that can replace oxygen (Oxygen) is exposed to a source of heat or
ambient temperature (Heat) above the
flash point for the fuel/oxidizer mix, and is able to sustain a rate of rapid
oxidation that produces a chain reaction (Chain
Reaction).
Fire Stops only when the Oxygen, Fuel and
Heat are being controlled to regulate the Chain Reaction! This process is
simply called Fire Fighting.
