Fire is a rapid oxidation process, specifically combustion, that releases heat, light, and reaction products. The visible part of fire, flames, appear when fuel reaches its ignition point. Hydrocarbon fuel flames mainly consist of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen, and nitrogen. Extreme heat can ionize these gases, forming plasma. The flame's color and intensity vary based on the fuel type and surrounding gas composition.
In February 1915, German troops first used modern flamethrowers against entrenched French troops near Verdun during the First World War.
In 1938, the use of fire lookout towers for early wildfire detection peaked.
In July 1944, towards the end of the Second World War, the incendiary fluid napalm was used.
