= Fire point
{wiki=Fire_point}
The fire point is a specific temperature at which flammable liquids produce enough vapor to support combustion, but not sustain it. It is closely related to the flash point, which is the lowest temperature at which a liquid can form an ignitable mixture with air. To clarify: - **Flash Point**: The temperature at which enough vapor ignites when exposed to an open flame or spark. - **Fire Point**: The temperature at which the vapor continues to burn after the ignition source is removed.
