What happens when you bring flammable objects close to a source of fire or extreme heat?
Bringing flammable objects close to a source of fire or extreme heat can lead to ignition, causing the objects to catch fire. Flammable materials are those that can easily catch fire and burn in the presence of an ignition source, like an open flame or high heat. Here's what typically happens:

Heating Up: Initially, the flammable object will heat up. If it reaches its ignition temperature, the temperature at which it can ignite, it will start to burn.

Ignition: The ignition can be spontaneous or might require a flame or spark. Some materials can ignite without a direct flame but just from high temperatures.

Combustion: Once ignited, the material undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen (combustion), releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.

Potential Fire Spread: If the fire isn't controlled, it can spread to surrounding materials, especially if they are also flammable, leading to a larger fire or even a fire hazard.

Release of Gases and Smoke: Burning materials often release smoke and potentially toxic gases, which can be harmful if inhaled and can contribute to air pollution.

Damage and Danger: Fires can cause significant damage to property and the environment and pose a serious risk to life safety.

Therefore, it's crucial to handle flammable materials with care and keep them away from heat sources or open flames to prevent fire hazards.
