🔍 Key Concepts

• Heat produced by internal chemical reactions inside a material (like oily rags, coal piles, damp hay) • Difference between ignition caused from within a material vs. heat coming from an external source (like a flame, spark, or hot surface) • Basic fire behavior: fuel + oxygen + heat and how heat can build up over time in stored materials

💭 Think About

• Which term describes a fire starting by itself inside the material without an outside flame or spark? • Think of oily rags stored in a pile that heat up over time and suddenly burst into flame—what is that process commonly called? • Which choices are standard fire science terms you’ve seen in marine firefighting or safety training materials?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the term you choose is a commonly used fire science term, not something that just sounds scientific • Check that the definition clearly matches heat building up from a chemical reaction inside the substance itself, not heat coming from outside • Eliminate any options that are not standard phrases used in basic firefighting or marine safety manuals
