Section #1
The "Fire Triangle"
Understanding the science of fire can help you to prevent fires from happening!

All fires require three elements:
Oxygen-
Just like people, fire needs air (oxygen) to "breathe." Without oxygen a fire will stop burning.
Heat
-Without sufficient heat, a fire cannot start, nor can it continue to burn. Examples of heat sources would be:
- oven or stove top
- heater
- lit match or lighter
- spark caused by faulty electrical wiring
Fuel -Fuel is what "feeds" a fire. Without fuel, and fire will stop. Some examples of fuel would be:
- wood
- paper
- gas
- paint
- coal

Click here- more info! These three elements are commonly referred to as the "Fire Triangle." If the right amounts of each are present, and a chemical reaction occures, a fire can start.
If any one of these three elements are not present, a fire cannot start.
If any one of these three elements are not present, a fire cannot start.

Section #3
Tools vs. Toys

If fire can be used to make our lives better, then that means fire is a "tool." That's right! And as a tool, it should be used carefully and only by an adult.
Remember, fire is a tool, NOT a toy. You should never play with fire, and if you find matches or a lighter laying around, you should:
- never pick them up or play with them
- tell an adult immediately
