2. R a p i d c o m b u s t ion Rapid combustion is a form of combustion in which large amounts of heat and light energy are released. This often occurs as a fire. LPG burns rapidly and produces heat and light.

3. S p o n t a n eous c o m b u s t ion W hen a substance with a relatively low ignition tempera ture begins to release heat. T he outbreak of fire without application of heat from an external source. Phosphorous and sulphur start burning instantaneously; at room temperature.

4. E x p l o i s o n An explosion is defined as the rapid increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner. B l a s t i n g i n f i r e c r a c k e r s
