      All aspects of how things burn. Although humans have used fire for a very long time (since the ays of cavemen!) we still understand very little about it.

      I look at how fires start i.e. why things can be ignited and what causes this. I then look at how a small fire such as a match burning can grow into a much bigger more dangerous fire. I also try to help fire fighters develop better ways to fight fires that are safer.

      I hope that helps make things clearer. Keep the questions coming if you want to know more!
