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.
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.
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.
To make fire, you need three things: fuel to burn, heat to ignite the fuel, and oxygen to sustain the combustion reaction. These three components combine to create a self-sustaining chemical reaction known as 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
To burn a fuel, the other two things needed are oxygen and heat. Heat could come from a flame to start the fire (once the fire is started it continues to produce enough heat unless it runs out of fuel or oxygen, or is put out), or it could come from a spark.
The fire triangle represents the three elements required for a fire to burn: heat, fuel, and oxygen. When these three elements are present in the right proportions, a fire can ignite and sustain itself. Removing any one of these elements can help extinguish the 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.
for wood to burn you need fire
To make something burn, you need fuel (such as paper or wood), oxygen (from the air), and heat (a source of ignition like a match or a spark). These three components make up the fire triangle, and without any one of them, combustion cannot occur.
Fuel, oxygen and heat or an ignition source are the components needed for a fire.
if you are referring the fire triangle it is oxygen, heat, fuel. in order to have fire you need all three of these things.
