Fire!         By: Matei Mandoiu


 A starting Fire
   It was a hot day in the forest, the ground was dry with leaves, and animals were scattering for shade. As the day grew hotter, a flame flickered through the sun light. The day was so hot, a leaf caught fire like there was an invisible magnifying glass above. A fire had just begun.


    Inside the fire

  The fire is made up of chemicals: heat, oxygen, and fuel.                                                                             

This is known as “The Chain Reaction.”
The flame is not the fire. The flame spreads fire. The flame is made
 up of gas and and solids. Yes, the flame is made of solids that are invisible.


Moving the fire

   The fire moves from the breeze of the wind and spreads around. The fire spreads depending on the speed of the wind. Water does not move fire, it puts out fire.


The good and bad fire

   Fire can be deadly, but sometimes it helps us to live. The fire can make a lot of damage. It can burn down houses, buildings, forests, planes, helicopters, etc., and it can burn objects down really fast. The fire in the fireplace gives us heat and does damage to the wood, but not to the house. The fire makes energy also. It is used to power things, the fire makes light to see.


Where fire is used

   Fire is used in fireplaces to heat the house during the winter. It is used at campsites
to heat the family during the night. Fire is also used in stoves to heat or cook
the food. Fire is used for many things that even you use.
 

How to start the fire

 Fire can start in many different ways : Very strong heat can catch dry objects on fire. A magnifying glass needs to be placed in front of paper and strong sunlight to catch the paper on fire (The objects need to be on different sides). Two rocks rubbed together can make a spark and catch fire.


Safety from Fire


   If the stove doesn’t turn on, turn all equipment off and open all windows to not let the house catch fire. Fire that is already burning is best in moist area. If not, dry objects like trees or leaves can catch fire. To make the area moist, you can take a hose and spray far and high for protection.

 The ending fire

   The clouds have come to the forest with rain ready to put out the fire. Rain and fire are enemies with each other. The rain is falling, and making the fire hiss like a snake. The fire is getting smaller every second the rain strikes the fire with drops of water. The fire is getting fainter now, the rain is also getting fainter. But the rain leaves marks to destroy the fire. The rain left everything in its way wet to not leave the fire pass. And the little droplets from the remaining trees will help the rain win the battle. The war is over between rain and fire.
