Aren't all ordinary fires a chemical reaction?
- fwungy 4y agoA chemical is a compound that has been purposefully refined or purified. A chemical fire is far more complex and potentially dangerous than a normal fire. Gasoline is a chemical, however we have a lot of experience dealing with gasoline driven fires and they can be easily doused with water. Large battery driven fires in vehicles are a new thing, and they are not easily doused with water.
