Fire fighting is the act of carrying out procedures to extinguish an unwanted fire. A fire fighter performs fire fighting and prevents fires and destruction of life and property threatened by fire. In all but the most trivial cases, knowledge and expertise are necessary for successful and safe fire-fighting.
Historically, fire scientists created a graphical representation detailing the three elements fire needs to start (fire triangle). In recent years, one more point has been added, creating the fire tetrahedron.
The four elements needed for combustion (a form of oxidation; see the article on combustion) are:
- combustible matter (fuel): paper, wood, gasoline, oil, gas, etc.;
- a combustive agent, i.e. an oxidant, usually the oxygen of the air;
- activation energy: heat, spark (electricity), etc.
- a chemical chain reaction needed to sustain fire.
