objects, things get so hot that they put off a gas.. it is this gas that fire burns..
is that actually true? like even with wood.....i would of thought it was the wood burning....not gases given off by the wood cause it would take longer than it does for ....a match to burn .....however somtimes you do see the little jets of gas coming out of a match thats on fire.....hmmm
