The domestication of fire: The relationship between biomass fuel, fossil fuel and burns

Abstract

Primitive man's discovery and use of fire had a tremendous impact on modern development. It changed lifestyles, and brought with it new fuel sources and cooking methods. It also introduced devastation, injury, pain, disfigurement, and loss of life, and the need to continuously develop management, training and prevention programs. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd and ISBI.
