Fire techniques refer to various methods used to create, control, and extinguish fire. These techniques are essential in various fields, including camping, cooking, and firefighting. Common methods for starting a fire include using matches, lighters, or friction-based techniques like the bow drill. Understanding how to manage fire safely is crucial to prevent accidents and ensure effective use. In addition to starting fires, fire techniques also encompass ways to maintain and extinguish them. This includes controlling the fire's size and intensity by adjusting airflow and fuel supply. Firefighters employ specific techniques, such as using water or foam, to put out fires effectively while minimizing damage and risk.
