Solution

Fire is the result of the combustion reaction.
A combustion reaction in which substances react with oxygen present in the air will form carbon dioxide, water by the generation of heat and light in the form of flame.
At a certain point in the combustion reaction, called the ignition point, flames are produced. Flames consist primarily of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Fire emits heat and light because the chemical reaction that produces flames is exothermic. Fire will continue so long as fuel and oxygen are present.
