uh...... Fire is the combustion of material resulting in the release of heat and visible light energy. Combustion is a rapid oxidation reaction. When the chemical bonds break, the energy is liberated. In the case of a spreading wildfire, the heat energy released from currently burning material is sufficient to combust the immediately surrounding material. The threshold of rapid combustion differs between different fuel sources. For example, paper burns at 451°F.

No offence thegentlewind, but you should really get some schooling.
