If by 'fire' you mean a flame, then yes. A super hot gas discharged from a nozzel will produce a flame even though no combustion takes place. Anything can be heated to a plasma stage by magnetic resonance, especially if there is some iron mixed in to get things started. Of course in all these situations you have to get energy from someplace, which is what fuel is ordinarily used for.

What is needed for something to burn?

For something to burn, three key elements are required: fuel, heat, and oxygen. The fuel is what will undergo combustion, the heat is necessary to initiate the combustion reaction, and oxygen is needed for the fuel to react and sustain the burning process.


What are the 3 ingredients of fire?

For fire you need three main ingredients. First you need a fuel, this fuel can be anything that burns like wood for example. Second you need oxygen, without oxygen a fire cannot burn. Finally you need heat, even though fires give off heat you still need it to start a fire. If you remove any one of these three ingredients then the fire will die.


Does fire need air or oxygen?

The fire is fueled by oxygen in the air. There is no significant amount of hydrogen gas found in the atmosphere.Does the question relate to a laboratory experiment involving hydrogen gas? Or is the question a general one? Oxygen is not a fuel, but it is required to support combustion, or rapid oxidation. Hydrogen is combustible and can be used as fuel. If you burn hydrogen, the fire is being fueled by the hydrogen, not the oxygen, but without O2, the hydrogen would not burn.


Does oxygen make something burn?

No it doesn't make something burn. But if something is already burning, it supports the burning. In the fire triangle, which is what makes a fire, it says that you need fuel, oxygen, and something else, that I tend to forget. So, technically, oxygen does make something burn, because you need that oxygen to help it and if you don't have that then it won't burn. So, I say yes, it does.


Does a fire have oxygen?

Yes, fires require oxygen to burn. The process of combustion involves the interaction of fuel, heat, and oxygen to sustain the fire. This is why fires can be extinguished by removing any one of these three elements.

Does a fire need fuel oxygen and heat to burn?

Yes it does. If either fuel oxygen or heat were not sufficient or absent, fire would not be able to be sustained or ignited. :)

What two things must a fire have to burn?

Actually you need three things. Fuel-something that will burn, oxygen and heat. If you take any of the three things away the fire will die out.


Does fire need carbon dioxide to burn?

No. Fire need fuel, oxygen, and heat to burn. Carbon dioxide is a product of most fires and can actually be used to put fires out.


Why blowing or fanning a small fire makes the fire stronger?

All fires need three things to burn: fuel, heat and oxygen. When you fan a small fire, you are getting more oxygen to where the fuel and heat are.


Does fire need carbon to burn?

No, fire does not need carbon to burn. Fire requires three elements to ignite and sustain: heat, fuel, and oxygen. Carbon is a common fuel source for fires, but other materials like wood, paper, and gas can also serve as fuel for combustion.


What is needed for fire to burn?

In order for fire to burn, there is someting called the fire tetrahedron. The things needed for fire to burn are as listed: Heat, Oxygen, Fuel(of any sort), and a Chmeical Reaction with all of the above. I learned this from the multiple firefighting classes i have taken.


Can a fire burn in a room with no oxygen?

No it can't. You need oxygen to burn for it to work.


How can there be fire in space without oxygen?

Fire in space can occur without oxygen because it doesn't need air to burn. In space, fire can happen due to the presence of fuel and heat, even in the absence of oxygen.


Why does covering a burning object with a blanket help to extinguish a fire?

throwing a blanket over a small contained fire stops oxygen to the fire .to stop a fire you need to take out one of the three elements that are needed for a fire to burn witch are heat /oxygen/fuel
