Many people feel the creation of fire requires three elements: heat, fuel, and oxygen. While this basic theory is correct, it is also wrong. Unless circumstances are perfect, and those circumstances are dependent upon the products used, you still will not have flame. In order to get flame a fourth piece of the equation needs to be added. This fourth piece of the pie creates what is called a fire tetrahedron, and adds to the equation necessary to create fire a piece which has come to represent a chemical chain reaction. Without a chemical chain reaction the products of heat, fuel, and oxygen creates nothing at all.

UPDATE:
After getting an early start on this topic I soon came to the realization that this is not the right topic for me. I know too much on this subject from being a pyromaniac and a former fire science major, that further research was really boring the hell out of me. This research project has been officially scrapped.
