It is difficult to ignite wood or coal using a lit match. The match would burn down and singe your fingers long before the wood or coal would light. Using kindling of dry wood shaving, or thin twigs and dry grass, or paper (with or without kerosene), will ignite with one match and burn long enough to light a fire of wood or coal.

How do you properly build a fire?
First, be certain that the damper to the flue is open (for a fireplace) Place tinder (easily lit material, like paper/ cardboard), and place kindling on top of the tinder. Thin, very dry bits of wood. Place larger section of dry wood on that. Space wood so that air and flames can move through the stack, and around the wood. Light the fire. Avoid using things like kerosene or gasoline as an igniter- they can be very dangerous. For a coal fire, start fire as above, and once burning add coal to the fire.
