Why doesn't The sparks off a sparkler burn your clothing?

For something to catch fire, three elements are required. Fuel, oxygen and heat. These must co-exist for a sufficient period of time for a fire to propagate. The absence of any of these three elements will prevent a fire occurring. Sparks are small entities that are in the process of completing the combustion process. So, when a spark flies onto your clothing it will not set fire because 1. your clothing are not sufficiently flammable (lack of fuel) and 2. there is not enough time for the spark to heat your clothing to the temperature required to ignite your clothes. However, if your clothes are doused in gasoline (or petrol) the spark will ensure a very whooof ending!! DO NOT try this at home. Also it's important to remember the difference between heat and temperature. Each spark has quite a high temperature, but, being very small, not much heat. It therefore cools off very quickly when it hits the clothing. In fact, it will have cooled quite a lot even before hitting the clothing.
