A source of ignition for a fire can include anything that produces enough heat to ignite flammable materials. Common sources include open flames, such as matches or lighters, electrical sparks from faulty wiring, hot surfaces like stovetops, and friction from materials rubbing together. Additionally, static electricity or chemical reactions can also serve as ignition sources. Proper safety measures can help prevent these ignition sources from leading to unintended fires.
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 clothes catch fire without an ignition source?
Clothes cannot spontaneously catch fire without an ignition source. However, they can smolder or burn if exposed to high temperatures or certain chemical reactions. For example, fabrics can ignite in the presence of strong oxidizers or if exposed to intense heat from other materials. Generally, an external ignition source, such as a flame or spark, is required for clothes to catch fire.
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.
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).
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
