Fire! By: Matei Mandoiu
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.
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
madeup of gas and and solids. Yes, the flame is made of solids that are invisible.
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.
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.
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 cookthe 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.
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 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.
