Candles are small, portable sources of open fire that are often used for decoration or to provide light. They can be made of wax or other materials and are typically lit using a match. It is important to keep candles away from flammable materials, such as curtains or papers, and to make sure that they are properly extinguished after use to reduce the risk of accidental fires.

Gas stoves are appliances that use gas as a fuel source to heat food or water. They typically have an open flame that can be ignited using a control knob or button. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using a gas stove, as improper use can result in fires or explosions.

1. Fireplaces: Fireplaces are indoor or outdoor structures that are used to burn wood or other fuels to provide warmth or ambiance. It is important to follow proper safety guidelines when using a fireplace, such as using a screen to prevent embers from escaping and properly extinguishing the fire after use.
2. Grill: Grills are appliances that are used to cook food using an open flame or heating element. They can be powered by gas, charcoal, or wood, and it is important to follow proper safety guidelines when using a grill, such as keeping a safe distance from the flame and properly extinguishing the fire after use.
3. Campfire: Campfires are small, open fires that are often used for cooking or warmth while camping or in outdoor settings. It is important to follow proper safety guidelines when building and maintaining a campfire, such as using a designated fire pit and properly extinguishing the fire after use.
4. Torches: Torches are portable sources of open fire that are often used to provide light or heat in outdoor or emergency situations. They can be fueled by various materials, such as oil, propane, or kerosene, and it is important to follow proper safety guidelines when using a torch, such as keeping it away from flammable materials and properly extinguishing it after use.
5. Lighters: Lighters are small, portable devices that use a spark or flame to ignite a fuel source, such as gasoline or butane. They are often used to light cigarettes or candles and can be dangerous if not used properly. It is important to keep lighters out of the reach of children and to follow proper safety guidelines when using them.
