The Four Stages of Fire

1. Incipient
- An incipient fire is the beginning of fire. It can still be controlled.

2. Growth
- The growth of a fire will be affected by the structure of the building and the
fuel available.

3. Fully developed
- The fire reaches the fully developed stage. This is the strongest phase of fire
wherein its energy is greater.

4. Decay
- The fire ends up to be decayed, meaning it has run out of fuel or oxygen.
