By Brittany Van Voorhees Verified| WVEC-TV (Norfolk, VA) Verified CHARLOTTE, N.C. — There are three key components to igniting a wildfire: fuel, heat and oxygen. This is commonly referred to as the fire triangle. Fuel for a wildfire is any kind of flammable material, like trees, dry brush and even homes. According to North Carolina State University, these materials emit a vapor, which can be taken to their flashpoint by a heat source. An item’s flashpoint is the lowest temperature it can ignite.
