Triangle, a simplified cousin of the fire tetrahedron, represents three elements of fire, heat, oxygen, fuel that needs to be present. If one of the components is missing, the fire can not fire

Heat may be caused by tobacco, electric current or household heater. Fuel is inflammable such as wood, paper, clothing, furniture, gas, chemicals.

In the event of a fire, the fire disappears when one of the three components is removed. Cool the fire with water and rob the heat source. You can get rid of oxygen by erasing it with dirt, sand, chemicals or blankets.

You can remove fuel by either removing the combustible material from the fire or just waiting for the fire to consume the substance and leaving it natural.
