is a combustion or burning, in which substances combine chemically with oxygen from the air and typically give out bright light, heat, and smoke.
Fire is very useful, but it also has negative effects that includes hazardtolife and property, atmospheric pollution, and water contamination

cause of fires
Cooking-related fires, such as burnt food, unattended cooking, or grease build up.
cause of fire
Flammable and combustiblematerials, such as incorrect storage, usage, or disposal of them.
cause of fire
Smoking, such as smoking around flammable materials, or disposingcigarette butts improperly.
cause of fire
Heating, such as placingarticles too close to heat sources, or using faultyheaters.

what are stages of fire?
The developing or embryonicstage of fire is immediately after ignition. It means that the fire has justbegun.
what is incipient?
The growth stage occurs when the fire has established itself and burns self-sufficiently. We call this ‘establishedburning.’ Then, the fire generates enough heat to cause a positiveheat feedback loop. Here, the fire uses its heat to cause the combustion of surrounding fuel sources.
what is growth?
A fire is “fully developed” when it reaches its hottestpoint and engulfs all the available fuel sources. The fire’s intensity will likely decline unless its conditions change.
what is Fully Developed?
A fire will enter its decay stage when it runsout of oxygen or fuel to sustainitself. This decay is the longeststage and can takeweeks for largerfires
what is decay?
Another danger of the decay stage is the potential for newoxygen or fuels to get to the fire. A sudden wind updraft or a fallingtree branch may cause the fire to reignite.

Fire hazards can have many acute and chronic effects on human health. These include

Burns and trauma.,
Mental health effects
Reproductive and immunological disorders
Social and financial disruption
what are effects of fire hazards
Smoke produced by the fire can exacerbate asthma, bronchitis, and respiratoryinfections, and may cause increased incidence of heartdisease.

For a fire to ignite and maintain combustion, three elements are needed:
When at least one of these is missing or is present but only at low levels, a fire can’t start or spread. That’s why one of the basic strategies for preventing fire is to isolate sources of fuel or heat. Removing oxygen from the equation is most of the time nearly impossible.
fire safety measures
Avoid Electrical Overloading
Overloading your circuits is a big fire hazard—this is one of the most important fire safety reminders you shouldn't overlook
Fireproof Your Kitchen
Don't leave a gas stove on unattended
Keep Your Light Sources Secured
It's common for Filipinos to light candles or gasera (kerosene kamp) during a power outage
Practice Good Housekeeping Habits
Keep aisles, walkways, and stairways clear of any trash. Having clean and clear pathways at home or in the office can prevent the spread of fire
Install Smoke Alarms
Fires can happen anytime, so it's good to have smoke alarms in place to alert you when a fire breaks out
Get a Fire Extinguisher
Having a fire extinguisher at home or in the office doesn't directly prevent a fire, but it can surely help stop it from spreading

What are the Top 10 Fire Prevention Tips to Remember?
Fire hazards can have many acute and chronic effects on human health. It also has a negative effect to the environment and can largely add air pollution.
Remember the “PASS” (pull – aim – squeeze - sweep) whenever you’ll be needing to use a fire extinguisher.
