about the fire triangle: that you need all three of sufficient heat, fuel, and oxidizer to have a self sustaining fire. But few people are able to voice exactly what is going on in that fire to keep it burning. At its simplest level, as you have a fire burning, the "heat goes up" (literally and figuratively), so naturally, one element of a fire is that the fire self-sustains by allowing more of the fuel to be evaporated to allow it to better mix with the oxidizer. However, as the fuel and oxidizer mix and combust, and have enough activating energy to get over the initial "hump" or "energy barrier" that all reactions have, the remaining fuel and oxidizer are shrinking, and so the fire will go out at some point.
