What else can I help you with?
Can coal start a fire?
Not by itself, it requires an ignition source.
What is starvation in relation to extinguishing fire?
removing the fuel or source of ignition.
What are three sides in the fire triangle?
Fuel, oxygen and an ignition source
What is the three things that makes up a fire triangle?
Fuel, heat, oxygen...obviously.
Can chapstick and oxygen start a fire?
No, chapstick and oxygen alone would not be able to start a fire. A fire typically requires a fuel source, heat, and an ignition source. Chapstick is not flammable on its own, and oxygen is not combustible.
What is needed to start a fire?
Fuel, Oxygen and a heat source. Fuel, Oxygen and heat are everywhere why is the whole earth not on fire? because it is not Heat but a source of ignition that is needed.
How can heat source cause a fire?
A heat source can cause a fire by heating materials to their ignition point, where they release flammable vapors that can ignite when exposed to the heat source. This process is known as combustion, and it requires a combination of heat, fuel, and oxygen to sustain the fire.
What is needed for a fire start?
An ignition source, fuel and oxygen
Why doesn't the gas in a car's gas tank explode when the gas cap is removed?
Gas does not spontaneously explode. There has to be an ignition source, as when lighting a fire. The ignition source would have to be a spark from a fire. Gasoline in itself is not an explosive device that when agitated will explode. The myth that gasoline explodes upon agitation is false, and gas only explodes when it is ignited in some sort of way by a fire, or constant source of extreme heat.
What is the number one cause of car fire?
Fire. Fire is the number one cause of a car fire. Then you must have an ignition source to start the fire. You also have to have oxygen. Then finally you must have some sort of fuel. Thanks
What is a flash point?
It is the lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid can receive an ignition source and be ignitable. However, once the ignition source is removed, the flammable nature may cease and the flame stop. At temperatures slightly higher, it is when an ignition source is introduced and the ignition source is removed that the flammable liquid continues to burn regardless of the ignition source. The lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid (e.g. gasoline) becomes capable of catching fire in the air. The correct term applied to non-liquids is the autoignition temperature or kindling point.
If a grease cooking fire starts you should?
You might avoid a grease fire by preventing the grease/oil from reaching its ignition point and by keeping it from boiling over onto a source of ignition (e.g., a hot flame).
