It's Bright!!
It provides us light!
It's........ FIRE! It's almost impossible to separate fire from camp. It's like a tradition to have a campfire during a camp, no? Be it a big one, or a small one, a campfire is always a marvelous light show.
As we all know, there's this thing called the fire triangle, which just states 3 most important things needed to sustain fire. Come on, you can name them right? Oxygen, Fuel and Heat. Take any of these babies out and your fire will no longer be one.
Anyway, let's say you're trying to start a small fire to barbecue some of your OH-SO-DELICIOUS chicken wings. The first thing you might want to look for out in the jungle are some dry twigs and branches as the fuel for your fire. Then, all you need to do is just pile it up and give it some heat (maybe by friction or from matches/lighters) and BAM! There's your fire!
What's really happening behind the scene is this: A fire starts when there is enough supply of oxygen and given enough amount of heat and is able to sustain its own chain reaction, that is, it must keep producing enough heat to keep burning its fuel and oxygen. The oxygen here acts as the oxidizing agent.
So, I shall stop here for now. Keep those fires burning!!
