🔍 Key Concepts

• Spontaneous combustion – what does “spontaneous” really mean in fire science? • Difference between internal chemical heat build‑up and heat from outside sources • Common examples: oily rags, damp coal, hay bales – what is happening inside them before they ignite?

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if something is truly spontaneous, where must the heat that starts the fire be coming from? • Which choices describe heat coming from outside the material, and which describe heat generated inside the material? • Think about a pile of oily rags catching fire in a closed room with no heater or flame nearby – what process could cause that?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options involve an external heat source versus no external heat source. • Make sure your choice matches the literal meaning of “spontaneous” = occurring by itself, without outside help. • Eliminate any choices that clearly require heat being supplied from outside the material.
