Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This word is a synonym for a bout or a contest, but it is not as fun, as when friction happens with this object, fire is started due to heat. What is this object?

Answer: Match

There are "household safe" matches, which are called this way because they won't ignite unless there is strong friction involved, but you must be careful when touching them. The best thing is to let an adult handle matches, and anything fire-related that could injure you.
2. You might recall this part of your birthday cake, because you had to blow the fire off it! What am I referring to?

Answer: Candle

Candles are used not just in cakes, but in many religious celebrations or simply for light. You should be very careful when using candles, and always ask an adult to light them up for you.
3. Which kind of stone can make fire if rubbed against another stone or hard material?

Answer: Flint

This is one of the oldest methods to produce fire in human history. Cavemen used this method to keep themselves warm and cook their food.
4. You should never hang clothes or material over a lamp.

Answer: True

Clothes and similar objects like blankets are absolutely hazards when placed over a lamp, given that it can be very hot and the heat would be transmitted to the clothes, producing fire. Now, this is not the only object that can start a fire if placed in a hot surface, so be careful!
5. If you like to cook, you will need to be in contact with fire, however, this doesn't mean you need to get hurt. Wearing which object would reduce the possibility of you burning when holding something hot?

Answer: Oven mitts

Wearing oven mitts when taking anything out of the oven or just grabbing a pan is the best way of preventing injuries. Wearing pants wouldn't help very much in this situation, would it? You should never have paper or rubber close to fire, as these are both very flammable materials.
6. Which material, used in cars to make them start, is extremely flammable?

Answer: Gasoline

Gasoline is one of the most flammable materials in the world. Even though it is unlikely you will ever be in direct contact with gasoline, never, NEVER have fire close to a place where gasoline might be present, like a gas station or a car. It is extremely dangerous.
7. Wildfires can occur in forests, as plants can burn pretty easily. Although human activity can cause them, which natural phenomenon can and has also caused wildfires?

Answer: Lightning

You can prevent some wildfires, but not all, as many can be caused by either lightning, volcanic eruptions and sparks from rockfalls. Still, you are able to prevent some, by telling your parents to not smoke in forest areas and be very careful with bonfires.
8. Another device fire can be started with is the lighter. Which of these would you most likely find in a lighter?

Answer: Propane

Propane and butane are often present in lighters in order for them to ignite. Lighters are frequently used to light cigarettes and cigars, and you should never touch them unless there is an adult present who approves it.
9. Electricity can also be the cause for major fires. Which of these should you never do when handling electrical cables?

Answer: Pull at the cables to unplug them far away from where they are connected

Pulling a cable from a long distance can make the cable tear, causing it to liberate sparks, which can be a fire hazard. Remember, NEVER touch any electrical equipment when wet, and if possible, turn off any electrical device before unplugging it. Keeping them away from fire is just common sense, as fire can provoke more fire!
10. Now that you know some ways a fire can be started, it's time for you to learn some fire terms! Someone who starts fires in purpose and to get personal gratification can be called a firestarter, or which other word?

Answer: Pyromaniac

Firestarters or pyromaniacs feel the urge to start fires to relieve tension and relax. They are also called arsonists. Behaviors like these are very dangerous and can lead to accidents, even death, so be safe!

The other choices are different kinds of addictions. A kleptomaniac is one who steals compulsively to feel the same gratifying feelings as pyromaniacs, while trichotillomaniacs are those who compulsively pull out their hair and a ludomaniac is someone who bets or gambles compulsively.
