- What three things must come together for a fire to start?
Show the answer
Fuel, oxygen, and heat. A fire needs fuel, oxygen, and heat to ignite and keep burning. Remove any one and the fire cannot continue.
- Besides fuel, oxygen, and heat, what fourth part of the fire tetrahedron keeps a flame going?
Show the answer
A chemical chain reaction. The fire tetrahedron adds the chemical chain reaction to fuel, oxygen, and heat. Breaking that reaction helps stop the fire.
- Which of these is a product of combustion you should watch for?
Show the answer
Carbon monoxide. Burning produces products like carbon monoxide, which is dangerous to breathe. Knowing this helps you recognize unhealthy air.
