How much do you know about fire mats

Fireproof mats are very common in real life, and their functions are mainly to play a role in fire prevention, heat insulation, and anti-scalding. There are many types of fireproof mats, and different types of fireproof mats are used in different fields. Barbecue, outdoor camping and other activities are very common in daily life, but when doing these activities, you may face situations such as scalding the lawn, burning the floor, etc. In severe cases, fire may occur, which will endanger personal safety, so To avoid these situations, people use fire mats under the stove or brazier. In the event of a small fire, it can also be used to extinguish a small area of fire and act as an emergency fire blanket. Then I recommend a fireproof mat for you, which is designed for lightness, easy to carry, suitable for parties, picnics, camping, barbecues or anywhere. Also resists excess moisture and heat. It has a long lifespan due to the use of durable materials and high-quality workmanship, making it an essential choice for outdoor activities.

Fire, flames, inferno …

Since ancient times, humans have known about fire. We have feared it, welcomed its warmth, and harnessed its power.

John Wesley said that if you catch on fire, people will come for miles to see you burn. He understood the intrinsic attraction flames represent for most people.

The Greek philosopher Plutarch said that the mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

One of Ray Bradbury’s characters in Fahrenheit 451 voiced his thoughts about fire: “It’s perpetual motion; the thing man wanted to invent but never did. … If you let it go on, it’d burn our lifetimes out. … It’s a mystery. … Its real beauty is that it destroys responsibility and consequences. … Antibiotic, aesthetic, practical.”

Would your WIP benefit from a few flames?

Adjectives

Careful selection of adjectives reveals opinions.

An arsonist might refer to a structure fire as irresistible, majestic, or resplendent. However, a fire fighter might view it as catastrophic, devastating, or uncontrolled. A couple in love might gaze at the flames in a fireplace and consider them beautiful, cheerful, or romantic. An ancient priest?  Perhaps his fire is ceremonial, holy, or sacred.

Choose descriptors with care, researching the definitions if necessary. For example, pyrotechnic refers to grandiose displays such as fireworks or a rock band’s lightshow, while pyrotechny, although sometimes used interchangeably with pyrotechnic, more correctly refers to the use of fire in alchemy.

Beware flammable and inflammable. Some readers will think the first word means “to catch fire easily,” while the second means “impervious to fire.” But they share the same definition: “easily set on fire.” Better to stick with straightforward words such as combustible and fireproof.

In addition to the words in the following list, many adjectives can be created by adding -ing or -ed to verbs.

A Ablaze, accidental, aflame, alight, angry

B Benign, beautiful, blinding, bright, brilliant, brisk, brutal

C Capricious, catastrophic, celestial, ceremonial, cheerful, cheery, chemical, clean-burning, cleansing, close, coal, cold, concentrated, constant, contained, cozy, cruel

G Gas, ghostly, glorious, greedy

H Harmless, hazardous, heavenly, hellish, historic, holy, huge, hungry

Similes and Metaphors

Many similes and metaphors border on cliché. Try to replace them with more direct terms (except in dialogue). For example:

Like a house on fire: fast, speedy; dynamic, robust, vigorous

Spread like wildfire: disseminate or circulate rapidly

Fire of passion: ardor, fervor, fever, hunger, lust

Colors

Many fuels produce colorful flames. Pyrotechnics displays take advantage of this fact.

Blue: butane, copper chloride (cuprous chloride)

Green: borax, (laundry additive, ant traps), boric acid, copper sulfate (cupric sulfate)

Orange: calcium chloride, sodium chloride (table salt)

Pink: potassium chloride

Red: lithium chloride, strontium chloride, strontium nitrate

Carbon monoxide burns orange or yellow, whereas a properly functioning gas stove will burn blue. Hot candle flames are light blue, cooling to yellow, then orange, and finally, red.
