Melting Temperature of Aluminum - ANSWER: 1220°F
Aluminum-to-pavement sparks - ANSWER: Considered a competent ignition
source.

Auto-ignition - ANSWER: Initiation of combustion by heat but without a spark or
flame.
Backdraft - ANSWER: A deflagration resulting from the sudden introduction of
air into a confined space containing oxygen-deficient products of incomplete
combustion.
Backfire Flame Arrestor - ANSWER: A boat device that owners fail to keep clean,
which is a frequent cause of engine compartment fires on boats.

component of a cord to determine if it was plugged into a receptacle.
Calcination - ANSWER: The chemical and physical changes that occur in gypsum
wallboard surfaces during a fire.
Carbon Monoxide - ANSWER: A narcotic gas that one might be exposed to in the
fire.
