Fire is like a hungry creature that eats things around it. When something burns, it gives off heat, and the heat makes nearby things hotter, so they start to burn too! That’s how fire spreads. The more things around you are made of materials that catch on fire easily (like paper or wood), the faster the fire will grow. And if there's a lot of oxygen (like in air), it helps fire burn even stronger, making it really dangerous.
Examples
- A campfire can turn into a wildfire if it gets too close to dry grass or trees.
- A small flame on a birthday cake can catch the whole cake, and maybe even the person holding it!
