Fire: Prevention and Response Flashcards
the first stage where fuel and oxygen are exposed to heat, resulting in a sustained chemical reaction.
IGNITION STAGE
the initial flame become another source of heat and additional fuel ignites
GROWTH
with presence of more heat coming from the fire itself, the fire spreads and consumes all available fuel.
FULLY DEVELOPED
when the fire consumes all available fuel, the
temperature decreases.
