HUMANS and LIGHTNING !!! Three components are required for a fire i) Flammable material - hydrocarbon, fuel paper etc ii) Air (oxygen) - no oxygen, no fire iii) Spark/firestarter - Combine flammable material and oxygen, chances are they're not going to combust - a spark, a bit of energy is required to get the fire started

How do fires burn?

Fires involve chemical reactions. They generally require some kind of heat to begin the chemical reaction, and the reaction begins and releases heat which keeps it going. Like when we burn wood or paper. Heat the fuel sufficiently, it begins to burn and use oxygen out of the air, and it continues until it is cooled, smothered, or runs out of fuel. There are more "exotic" fires, but that's the basic idea in a nutshell.
