Fire is fueled by three key elements, often referred to as the fire triangle: heat, fuel, and oxygen. Heat raises the material to its ignition temperature, fuel provides a combustible substance, and oxygen supports the combustion process. Common fuels include wood, paper, and certain gases. Removing any one of these elements will extinguish the fire.
