Bonfires are used to clean up debris and as part of many

Question: What Is Fire Made Of?  You know that fire generates
heat and light, but have you ever wondered what it is made of?
Here is a look at the chemical composition of fire.  Answer:
Fire is the result of a chemical reaction, called combustion. At
a certain point in the combustion reaction, called the ignition
point, flames are produced. Flames consist primarily of carbon
dioxide, water vapor, oxygen and nitrogen. Fire emits heat and
light. In order for combustion and fire to occur, three things
must be present: fuel, oxygen and energy (usually in the form of
heat).  Why Is Fire Hot?   State of Matter of Fire On Fire,
