Bush
burning is the states of combustion resulting from a chemical reaction that requires
the present of three element in proper combination a fuel source (anything that burns) oxygen ( a component of air) and ignition source
such as heat or a spark in order to begin and develop burning. This is often referred
to as “Fire Triangle”
