A fire is a combustion reaction, where oxygen reacts with a fuel. This is known as oxidation. For a fire to start and be sustained, four different components are needed, Heat, Fuel, Oxygen and a chemical chain reaction.
Heat is needed to take a material or fuel past its ignition point. The ignition point of a material is the point at which it will undergo a combustion reaction. The fuel is what will undergo the oxidation reaction. For the fuel to be able to oxidize, it needs a constant supply of oxygen. The last component needed is a chemical chain reaction. When burning Methane, the chemical reaction is
CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O
The breaking of CH4 and 2O2 bonds liberates enough heat to break surrounding CH4 and 2O2 bonds. This is known as a chemical chain reaction, as one bond breaking leads to other bonds breaking and so on.
If for whatever reason, any one of these components is removed, a fire cannot be started and sustained.
To take a fuel past its ignition point, a source of ignition is needed. A source of ignition is simply something that can take a material above a critical value (ignition point) to allow the material to combust.

Don't start fires!
No, muck fires can start anywhere there is muck. That's why they're called MUCK fires, not Florida fires.
why my kawaski 300 4 wheeler back fires and wont start
Yes they do but not exclusively. People from all walks of life commit crimes and start fires, not just the homeless and not all homeless people commit crimes and start fires.
Start fires.
