Understanding the Triangle of Fire

The video explains fire prevention as a science, focusing on the fire triangle: oxygen, heat, and fuel. It describes how these elements interact to start a fire and how removing one can extinguish it. The video also covers how fire extinguishers work by disrupting the fire triangle and emphasizes the importance of keeping fuel and ignition sources separate for safety.
