Like fire protection systems, fires are also considered in two categories. They are classified as either cellulosic or hydrocarbon. In fire protection terms, the difference between the two types of fire is the time it takes for the fire to reach its maximum temperature range. Under test conditions a hydrocarbon fire will reach a temperature of 900°C in 8 minutes, whilst a cellulosic fire will take 60 minutes to reach the same level.#1 your facts are wrong. Where did you get them?Steel does not melt in a hydro carbon fireconcrete and steel will not burn at those temperaturesforest are not made of concrete and steel
trees are not the only things that burn up in forest fires
I will help you understand------other stuff gets to flash point and combustion
ensues-------the "other stuff" may be MORE exothermic than waxy hydrocarbons
or even a lit cigarette butt.......and on and on and on--------to the magic of a giant

Hydrocarbon fuels can burn at temperatures up to 1600C.
