Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. Slower oxidative processes like rusting or digestion are not included by this definition.
Fire is a very rapid chemical reaction between oxygen and a combustible material, which results in the release of heat, light, flames, and smoke. For fire to exist, the following four elements must be present at the same time: 1  Enough oxygen to sustain combustion. 2  Enough heat to raise the material to its ignition temperature. 3  Some sort of fuel or combustible material.  The chemical reaction that is fire.
