When fire is burned it gives off a poisonous gas called carbon monoxide, which you cannot

see, smell or taste. If fire is burned indoors, or in an enclosed space, the gas cannot escape

and it builds up in the air that you are breathing. Carbon monoxide can make you unwell very

quickly and large amounts can overcome you in minutes without warning, causing you to lose

consciousness and suffocate
