What do you need for any combustion (fire)?

What happens to a combustion if there is no more oxygen?

What happens to a combustion if there is a low amount of oxygen?

Incomplete combustion

When there is too little oxygen for a combustable material to burn following the regular chemical reaction there will be a (partly) alternative combustion which is called an incomplete combustion. With an incomplete combustion you will get (partially) different reaction products.

One of the most hazardous of those reaction products is carbonmonoxide.
