From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. Slower oxidative processes like rusting or digestion are not considered to be part of this definition. The flame is the visible portion of the fire and consists of glowing hot gases. If hot enough, the gases may become ionized to produce plasma. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity might vary. Fire in its most common form can result in conflagration, which has the potential to cause physical damage through burning. Fire is an important process that affects ecological systems across the globe. The positive effects of fire include stimulating growth and maintaining various ecological systems.

Q. I am just wondering whether it'd be possible for the hideous fire that is attached to my baxi back boiler to be removed and the boiler still work? I was hoping to be able to stick a modern electric fire and mantel piece against the wall where the ugly fire is at the moment. Failing that, anyone know of anywhere that you can get a half decent looking (more modern!!) replacement fire? Asked by Claire D - Tue Nov 11 14:37:57 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. No it is illegal and dangerous to run the back boiler in this way. Flueless gas fires 100% efficient? They still require either a large permanent hole in the wall to provide ventilation creating wads of cold air in winter else ducted from wall to floor vent unlike other fires as has to be direct to outside air. They are not designed for continuous use either. They also produce a lot of pollutants other than carbon monoxide that can aggravate asthma. Answered by Paul L - Tue Nov 11 14:43:48 2008 Why would an aircraft with an engine on fire go into a steep dive to put the fire out? Q. I watched the film 'Memphis Belle' today and the B-17 had an engine fire and went into a fast dive to put the fire out. How would this work? I thought the oxygen would aid the fire. Asked by Sue B - Fri Jul 11 15:02:59 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. Why?? Because it works... You need 3 things to have a fire... Fuel, Heat, Air. If you dive the aircraft, you cool the combustion, and dissapate the fuel/oil vapor which is probably what is burning (coming out of a line and spreading in the air) If you reduce or remove any of the 3 requirements you extinguish this fire or any other for that matter. Yes, it is the same principle as blowing out a match. For those that say it doesn't work (I hope you never have to blow out a match) I had an engine fire in a Cessna 310 and I dove the #$% out of it and the fire went out. If you don't believe me... fine... go check out the video of the guy that lost his restored F4U Corsair on youtube, he jumped (parachute)... and the plane nosed over… [cont.] Answered by lludwig39 - Tue Jul 15 07:22:35 2008 If a fire destroyed all your belongings? What are the most important things you would try and save?
Q. Think if you were asleep and a fire started in your house, what would you do? You think of all the money you spent on jewelry, clothes and shoes. And you'd lose all your scrapbooks you made and photographs. Ipods, bookcase full of books, and just little memories you saved for a long time from when you were little to now. Now if that were to happen, and you woke up, what are the first things you would grab and try to save? Asked by Shelbs(anti jonas) - Wed Aug 20 13:27:21 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A.
