Beginning the group discussion. 1  Remind the group they are in a first draft conference; the drafts won't be polished. 2  Explain that sentence level discussion should be minimized. 3  Review the assignment with the group, making sure that they all understand the goals.
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.
A fire retardant is a substance that reduces flammability of fuels or delays their combustion. This includes chemical agents, but may also include substances that work by physical action, such as cooling the fuels, such as fire-fighting foams and fire-retardant gels.
