Why do you use paper then sticks then large logs on a fire?
Paper burns easier than wood, and if you put too much or too large wood on a small fire you can smother it. Paper and sticks help start the fire and to build it up. As the fire grows, add logs onto it to make the fire bigger, increase warmth, and to keep it going.
How do you use your fireplace?
By burning wood in it. Build some paper and small dry wooden parts to start the fire and slowly increase the size of the logs. You should take care that the wood gets enough air to keep burning. This can be facilitated by starting the fire on andirons and/or a fire grate.
How do they manage to start a fire?

Why do you have to use paper are kerosene oil to start fire in wood or coal?
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 start a fire in the wild?

What happens when you start a fire with a moist wood?
Trying to start a fire with damp wood is very difficult. When I backpack I always carry some tinder (dry shavings) to start a fire. Wet wood will not burn unless the fire is hot enough to evaporate the water that is in the wood. You can burn damp wood on an already burning fire but it will not burn as hot. Wet wood tends to smoke a lot and may go out on a small fire that does not have a good coal base. I have had to use damp wood to start a fire before but I had to shave down the wood until I found dry wood inside. Once you get a small fire started gradually add wood until you can get a hot fire. Too much wet wood at once can put out a fire. Not a good thing when you are cold and wet. Be patient.
