The way a lighter works is by using a spark to ignite the lighter fluid.

When you press down on the lighter,you create a spark.A spark is created by striking metal against a flint and the spark ignites the flammable gas coming out of the lighter,which results into a flame.

A metal enclosure with air holes generally surrounds the flame, and is designed to allow mixing of fuel and air while making the lighter less sensitive to wind.

How do you start a forest fire?

It is simple, but highly dangerous. All you have to do is start a small fire near plants, woods, leaves, anything that is really flammable, perhaps with a lighter, and burn objects off, leaving its remainings on the ground while on fire.
