For a flame to stay lit, three essential elements must be present: fuel, oxygen, and heat, commonly referred to as the fire triangle. The fuel serves as a combustible material, while oxygen is needed to sustain combustion. Additionally, heat must be maintained to ensure that the temperature remains high enough for the reaction to continue. If any of these components is removed, the flame will extinguish.
