Let’s get a definition out of the way first. Fire: the rapid oxidation of a material through a chemical process of ignition. It releases heat, light, and various reactions depending on the product ignited.

The flame is the detectable portion of the fire. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different.

Fire fascinates as well as being useful. How many homes have a fireplace and, when there is a party in the backyard, a fire pit is often a focal point. The flames can be hypnotic to a human being and one has to wonder if that is from the days when caveman, first observing their discovery, stared deeply into the flames and wondered if it was a gift from their gods.

In modern day, we can see the uses of fire and the various methods of creating it. Actually, as a survivalist, the more you know about fire and its creation the better.
