The Triangle of Fire

Fire is a chemical reaction known as combustion that involves substances combining with oxygen and releasing light, heat, and smoke. The triangle of fire represents the three elements (fuel, heat, and oxygen) needed to start a fire. Fire extinguishers have specific parts and should only be used according to safety instructions to put out small fires by removing one side of the fire triangle. Laboratory safety rules exist to inform users of good practices and prevent injuries from hazardous materials and equipment.
