The definition of FIRE is: A rapid chemical reaction that gives off energy and products of combustion that are very different in composition from the fuel and oxygen that combined to produce them. That is the book definition, but what does all this mean? First of all, one thing to remember is that fire is very fast, it can evolve from a small flame into a major blaze in as little as 30 seconds. Only minutes after that, an entire house can be filled with thick black smoke. The most important thing to remember if you awake to a fire: there is no time to grab valuables, there is only time to escape.
