Fire: What Makes It Burn

Tryin&apos; To Set The Night On Fire

This Encyclopedia Britannica film considers fire, the fact that it needs heat, oxygen, and a fuel to burn, and how to put it out. Of course, the subject is much more involved than that; you don&apos;t need oxygen; fluorine will often work even better. But the basics are there, even though the narrator never mentions that fire is a subset of oxidation.

After I wrote that last sentence, I checked several dictionary definitions, and found them all recondite, so let&apos;s go with the narrator. Usually I spend my reviews of these schoolroom films making fun of them. I can think of a few ways to do that, but let&apos;s ignore them. This is a decent discussion, even if I find the narration spoken in a dull manner.
