Do you know who discovered Fire ,Humans or someone else?????

 Fire 

if I were a scientist who discovered fire:

  • I may have changed the color of the fire(green or black).
  • I may make a castle of fire.
  • I may have control over fire and can cure the effects of fire on something.
  • I may order the fire as my jinnee.
  • I may rule over the world with this fire.

              Actually, all these points are in the mind of people who think they may control fire. I am also included in those people. However, the question of who discovered fire, humans, or someone else is an important thing. We all know that in every century, fire is used by humans, not by someone else.     

             Have you ever seen any bird, animal, plant, or microorganism using fire???? We have never seen, and only human beings on earth indeed use fire for different purposes.

 

 Discovery of fire:

          The early humans discovered fire by rubbing two flint stones against each other. They used to make fires in front of the caves to scare away wild animals.

 

Human response to fire (before discovery ) :

            In ancient times, people lived in forests or caves. They were afraid of lightning and storms. So, whenever there comes a storm or thunder, they ran to hide in their caves. At that time, forests also caught fire naturally. In the same way, when lightning struck the sky, it would sometimes fall on the forest and catch fire naturally. When it happens, people always get scared and wish to get out of this trouble. Sometimes they leave this place or migrate somewhere, or often, they stay in their caves until the flames of fire had turned everything into ashes. At that time, they can never imagine one day our kids will be able to control fire like it's nothing. Even that, when they hear the name of the fire, they were half dead. Due to this, they also don't know how to cook.  They eat uncooked meat.

                  Yeah, I can understand the taste of uncooked food and how they can eat such food.

 

Human response to fire (after discovery ) :

                     When the fire was discovered, some people think that it was so much power that it could turn everything into ash in just minutes. Maybe it had created us. So, they started worshipping the Fire.  You must have heard about Zoroastrian Beliefs

                           (Fire—along with water—are seen as symbols of purity in the Zoroastrian religion. Zoroastrian places of worship are sometimes called fire temples. Each fire temple contains an altar with an eternal flame that burns continuously and is never extinguished. ).

                 Today, we are using fire as it is not a big deal, but the reality is we have controlled a huge monster. Nowadays we have prepared equipment to extinguished fire. 

 

Advantages of fire today:      

  • We use fire for cooking.
  • We use fire to keep our home warm during winters.
  • We use fire to generate electricity through coal.
  • We use fire to light up the surroundings.
  • We use fire to burn the waste materials.
  • We use fire to drive away wild animals.
  • We use fire for camping.
  • We use fire to do fireworks with it.
  • We use fire to heat metal.
  • We use fire to burn the waste materials of natural stones.

 

               Thus, we can say the fire is used in every aspect of our life. Without fire, we can do nothing. Fire provided a source of warmth and lighting, protection from predators (especially at night), a way to create more advanced hunting tools, and a method for cooking food. These cultural advances allowed human geographic dispersal, cultural innovations, and changes to diet and behavior.

  We know that if there are advantages as well as disadvantages of everything. Fire also has so many disadvantages.

 

Disadvantages of fire today:

  • Fire can turn humans as well any living thing into ash.
  • Misuses of fire can be very dangerous (due to misuses of houses, buildings, a Weapons cache, etc., caught fire, and results are very, very terrifying.)
  • Open-Fire is very dangerous for power plants or electric power generation.

        Forest Fire is also one the most dangerous thing in the world.There are some famous fires in history  that had changed history, which are:

 

7 Fires That Changed History:

  • The Burning of the Great Library of Alexandria.
  • The Great Fire of London.
  • The Great Fire of New York.
  • The Great Chicago Fire.
  • Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.
  • The Reichstag Fire.
  • Cleveland's Cuyahoga River Fire

           So, these were disadvantages of fire .
