The elements that make fires to start are oxygen, fuel, and heat. In this case, heat is an ignition source for the fire and it can be anything which can start the fire for instance electrical discharges or infra-red radiation. Fuel cannot be removed from the process areas because most of the materials are being processed with it. However, it is better to ensure that the flammable or combustible materials don’t build up outside and stay within pipework and vessels. The occurrence of fire exposure in hydrocarbon fields is one of the most possible dangerous hazards because of the flammable substances or gases. The ignition sources are difficult to eliminate completely, although to control them reduces the risk of explosion or fire. Possible ignition sources are: Mechanical Sparks. They can be produced from different activities. The obvious sources of sparks are grinding and cutting operations, but there are also other potential sources for example any metal impacts, nailed or metal boots on the metal walkways, flying rotors blades of broken fans etc. it is possible to utilize tools that are encased in rubber, but even this does not guarantee that there will be a non-spark
They can be natural, accidental, incendiary, or undetermined. Natural fires can begin because of nitrogen levels in soil, lightning strikes, or dry conditions.

Many times these are fueled by flammable liquids such as gasoline.
Throughout Zac Unger’s memoir Working Fire the Making of a Fireman he struggles to find a place within the fire station and among coworkers. Unlike many of the fellow recruits who spent years preparing to become a firefighter, Unger an Ivy League grad simply responded to a bus stop ad. After realizing that most recruits were either former military, tradesmen or other firefighter’s kids Unger “Mostly I just stayed quite, tried to down play my existence. I figured if I could just make it through the academy without being called out as a fraud, I’d end up a firefighter like the rest of them”(Unger, 22-23). This distinction between Unger and the rest of the recruits was seen as something to be ashamed of, something to hide away.

Symbolism is a notable feature in Catching Fire. Through symbolism , Suzanne Collins manages to paint Katniss as the ultimate embodiment of rebellion through transferring her into a mockingjay . " A mockingjay is a creature the Capitol never intended to exist"(92), as it is a result of the Capitol's usage of the japperjays which were sent to spy on the rebels. However, the japperjays failed in their mission so the Capitol left them to die ,but they managed to survive through mating to female mockingbirds .

The Fire Stick, utilised by Indigenous Australians has been an essential tool in the practice of traditional land management across Australia since their arrival 50,000+ thousand years ago.
