stages of fire
incipient, growth, fullydeveloped, decay
fuel, oxygen, and heat join together in a sustained chemical reaction. a fire extinguisher can control the fire.
ignition or incipient
With the initial flame as a heat source, additional fuel ignites. Convection and radiation ignite more surfaces. The size of the fire increases and the plume reaches the ceiling.
growth
Fire has spread over much if not all the available fuel; temperatures reach their peak, resulting in heat damage. Oxygen is consumed rapidly.
fully developed
The fire consumes available fuel, temperature decreases, the fire gets less intense.
