Heat,
fuel and air are called the ‘triangle of fire’.
If we remove any one of these the fire will always die out.
If you squirt water on a fire
it turns to steam and takes away the heat. The fire will
cool rapidly and go out.
If you cover a candle flame and
keep out the air this would not allow the flame to breathe.
The candle would go out.
If you were baking with a gas
cooker and you turned off the gas, you would be removing
the fuel. The gas flame would go out.
Fire is rather like us - we also
need heat to keep us warm, food or fuel to feed us, and air
to breathe. |
