    Fire is a series of self-sustaining chemical reactions with varying degrees of light and heat. The visible part of the fire is called flame. Fire occurs when flammable and/or combustible material, combined with an appropriate amount of oxidizing agent, for example, gaseous oxygen is exposed to a heat source or an ambient temperature above the flash stage. Combustible to the fuel/oxidizer mixture and can withstand the rapid oxidation that creates a chain reaction. Fire is made up of four components: fuel, oxygen, heat, and a chain of chemical reactions. This is often called the fire tetrahedron (Figure 1.1). Fire cannot exist without all of these elements in the right place and the right proportions.
