Fire is a rapid oxidation process, specifically combustion, that releases heat, light, and reaction products. The most visible part, flames, appear when fuel ignites. Flames from hydrocarbons mainly comprise carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen, and nitrogen. Sufficiently hot gases can ionize into plasma. Flame color and intensity depend on fuel type and surrounding gas composition.
