The Combustion process releases this heat. The tremendous amount of heat that is produced in the burning process is the major reason that the suppression of wildfires is such a difficult task and why the use of prescribed fire is a complex and exacting process requiring knowledgeable and experienced people.

Combustion is a chain reaction chemically similar to photosynthesis in reverse.
Photosynthesis requires a large amount of heat which is furnished by the sun. The Combustion process releases this heat. The tremendous amount of heat that is produced in the burning process is the major reason that the suppression of wildfires is such a difficult task and why the use of prescribed fire is a complex and exacting process requiring knowledgeable and experienced people.
The combustion process or �fire� is sometimes called �rapid oxidation.� It is similar to the formation of rust on iron or the decay of dead wood in the forest, except that the process is drastically speeded up.
Fire begins with ignition. The match is a common ignition device. Friction creates sufficient heat to ignite the phosphorus on the end of the match. Combustion occurs and the match flames.
Heat is necessary to begin the combustion process. Once started, fire produces its own heat. Wild land fires originate from such sources of heat as matches, embers from cigarettes, cigars or pipes, campfires, trash fires, exhaust sparks from railroad locomotives, sparks from brake shoes or �hot-box� on railroad cars. lightning, spontaneous combustion, hot ashes and arson.
The Fire Triangle
Three things are required in proper combination before ignition and combustion can take place---Heat, Oxygen and Fuel.

There must be Fuel to burn.
There must be Air to supply oxygen.
There must be Heat (ignition temperature) to start and continue the combustion process.
