Lesson details
Every fire needs just four basic elements to keep burning. Think of a campfire: you need heat (a match), fuel (wood), and oxygen (the air around it). Once it's lit, a chemical chain reaction keeps it burning. But if you remove even one of these elements the fire dies out.
In this online lesson about disrupting a fire, you'll learn about the fire tetrahedron, a model that shows the four elements every fire needs. And how removing just one of these elements can prevent fires from starting or spreading.
