WHEN I USED TO SELL “FIRE SAFETY EQUIPMENT”, P/T, MANY YEARS AGO, I was “TOP GUN” salesman for the year of 1992/1993. I still have that “Award Plaque” somewhere around here…I sold a BIG/HUGH Package to the City of North Richland Hills in Texas, near Ft. Worth.

The fire tetrahedron
Fires start when a flammable or a combustible material, in combination with a sufficient quantity of an oxidizer such as oxygen gas or another oxygen-rich compound (though non-oxygen oxidizers exist), is exposed to a source of heat or ambient temperature above the flash point for the fuel/oxidizer mix, and is able to sustain a rate of rapid oxidation that produces a chain reaction. This is commonly called the fire tetrahedron. Fire cannot exist without all of these elements in place and in the right proportions. For example, a flammable liquid will start burning only if the fuel and oxygen are in the right proportions. Some fuel-oxygen mixes may require a catalyst, a substance that is not consumed, when added, in any chemical reaction during combustion, but which enables the reactants to combust more readily.
Once ignited, a chain reaction must take place whereby fires can sustain their own heat by the further release of heat energy in the process of combustion and may propagate, provided there is a continuous supply of an oxidizer and fuel.
If the oxidizer is oxygen from the surrounding air, the presence of a force of gravity, or of some similar force caused by acceleration, is necessary to produce convection, which removes combustion products and brings a supply of oxygen to the fire. Without gravity, a fire rapidly surrounds itself with its own combustion products and non-oxidizing gases from the air, which exclude oxygen and extinguish the fire. Because of this, the risk of fire in a spacecraft is small when it is coasting in inertial flight.[6][7] This does not apply if oxygen is supplied to the fire by some process other than thermal convection.
Fire can be extinguished by removing any one of the elements of the fire tetrahedron. Consider a natural gas flame, such as from a stove-top burner. The fire can be extinguished by any of the following:
- turning off the gas supply, which removes the fuel source;
- covering the flame completely, which smothers the flame as the combustion both uses the available oxidizer (the oxygen in the air) and displaces it from the area around the flame with CO2;
- application of water, which removes heat from the fire faster than the fire can produce it (similarly, blowing hard on a flame will displace the heat of the currently burning gas from its fuel source, to the same end), or
- application of a retardant chemical such as Halon to the flame, which retards the chemical reaction itself until the rate of combustion is too slow to maintain the chain reaction.
In contrast, fire is intensified by increasing the overall rate of combustion. Methods to do this include balancing the input of fuel and oxidizer to stoichiometric proportions, increasing fuel and oxidizer input in this balanced mix, increasing the ambient temperature so the fire’s own heat is better able to sustain combustion, or providing a catalyst, a non-reactant medium in which the fuel and oxidizer can more readily react.
“IF” only 1/one of the elements or components that is needed for “FIRE” to be present, can get taken away; then “THE FIRE” ceases to exist!!!???
When I wrote the “VIDEO GAME CONCEPT BOOKLET” (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T1UPFWI/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i7); that was right after I had sold that BIG package to That City, and Right After, I watched my Baby son (“Jeremy”) defeat that 1st SUPER MARIO Game, and he was only 2 1/2 years old.
The Whole “Concept that Children could/can Learn” very complicated stuff, simply by “PLAYING A VIDEO GAME” with “Fun & Educational Challenging Concepts” and I/WE copyrighted & REGISTERED= ®Reece ENTERPRISES/©REECENETRICS™ FUN & EDUCATIONAL GAMES AND BOOKS.
One of the most “KEY” components to the FIRE SAFETY Products and Equipment, that I sold back then was the “HALON” products.
so, Halon “NANOMITES” can be made to Help “SNUFF OFF” and/or “TAKE away “1/ONE” of the Main Elements of Fire(s); then Massive loss of Lives and Lands and Properties does “NOT” have to happen.
BUT, There is Always a “BLESSING & a CURSE”; nanomites reverse engineering…
Deuteronomy 11:26-28
King James Version
26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day:
28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
THE Main Negative about “HALON” is that it does take away the “Oxygen” Molecule from the “FIERY Equation” and SO, Therefore an Answer to That will need to be Addressed as in “Making More “OXYGEN” as soon as the “FLAMES & Heat” are killed off…. The “MICRO/NANOMITES” can accomplish that, by “Molecular Manipulation(S)” and its also “PART of OUR “Series called; “©L.A.Z.E.R.U.S.” (he can “RESTRUCTURE”) and soooo, …
IN the “IRON MAN 2” (In the Iron Man 2 novelization, the element created by Tony Stark to replace palladium in the Arc Reactor is called vibranium.)…BUT, we now know that “VIBRANIUM” came from Outer Space and was sent to “AFRICA”, by the Higher Intentions.
Main thing is; That even in the ©The L.A.Z.E.R.U.S. Project: ©L.A.Z.E.R.U.S.; WE had to get “A Whole NEW Element Group” created, before the “MOST POWERFUL The Man Made Super Hero”=©L.A.Z.E.R.U.S. COULD BE ACHIEVED…AND MY STORY WAS WAYYY, WAY BEFORE THE IRON MAN2 FILM…
ANYWAY, THE MOLECULAR LEVELS OF “NANOMITE/REVERSE MANIPULATIONS; CAN HELP US FIGHT AND “KILL-OFF/DESTROY THESE FIRES”!!!!!!!!
