Fuel, Heat, and Oxygen

The three ingredients that cause fires are heat, oxygen, and combustible
material. When all three components are present, combustion takes place.
Combustible material (Fuel).
Ignition Source (Heat).
Oxygen.
Fuel
Fuel or combustible material, which acts as a fuel source for fire, i.e., paper,
wood, clothes, any solid combustible material, fiber, textile fiber, gasoline,
kerosene, grease, tar, fingernail polish, magnesium, sodium, potassium,
titanium or aluminum, cooking oil, vegetable oil, etc.
Heat
Ignition source or heat source means flame, spark which ignites sufficient heat,
or flame for combustion or fire.
Oxygen
Oxygen which is the most common factor and is available everywhere in the
form of air.
An explosion is defined as the process in which combustion occurs and spreads
rapidly so as to create a high pressure. In this case, the fire expands from a
source of ignition and develops high pressure when restricted in an area.
