The triangle illustrates the three elements a fire needs to ignite: heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent (usually oxygen). A fire naturally occurs when the elements are present and combined in the right mixture, meaning that fire is actually an event rather than a thing.

For example, covering a fire with a fire blanket removes the oxygen part of the triangle and can extinguish a fire.
