Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen, heat, and fuel are frequently referred to as the “fire triangle.” Add in the fourth element, the chemical reaction, and you actually have a fire “tetrahedron.” The important thing to remember is: take any of these four things away, and you will not have a fire or the fire will be extinguished.
Detailed explanation-2: -The fire triangle’s three sides illustrate the three elements of fire: heat, fuel and oxidization. The three elements must be combined in the right proportions for a fire to occur. If any of the three elements are removed, the fire is extinguished.
