Fire does indeed have weight, but nothing significant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should take a moment to preface that mathematicians and physicists have argued for quite a while about <a href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/how-much-does-fire-hose-weigh-hint-its-heavy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to determine the weight<\/a> of fire. As we touched on in the intro, fire is extremely volatile, so it\u2019s not an easily measured or quantified substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fire is comprised of nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and plasma. It\u2019s also a lot of very hot air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can thus use the ideal gas law or the general gas equation to determine that a gas\u2019s density is proportional to its temperature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if a fire is burning and the gases are 1\/4<sup>th<\/sup> as dense as the air and we know that the sea-level air is 1.3 kilograms a cubic meter, we can deduce that fire weighs 0.3 kilograms a cubic meter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Fire_Have_Mass\"><\/span><strong>Does Fire Have Mass?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mass is a measurement of a physical body\u2019s amount of matter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know the mass of something or someone, you can use that information to determine the strength of the body\u2019s gravitational attraction as well as its rate of inertia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next question, after pondering the weight of fire, is always this. Does fire have mass?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than likely, yes, it does. After all, fire contains hot gas, so it does have mass.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"275\" src=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/burning-man.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-503805\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>How would we determine what that mass is? Ah, now you\u2019re asking a tricky question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You would have to put fire into a container and then seal that container. More so, the fire couldn\u2019t yet be burning for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not? You\u2019d have to determine how much fuel the fire has in its beginning stages compared to the amount of gas. The longer the fire burns, the more impossible that is to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the fire continued burning, you\u2019d then have to determine how much the outside flame material weighs (remember everything that an average fire is made of) as well as the measurements of the flames.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, as the fire naturally petered out, you\u2019d have to assess how much the oxidized products and fuel weighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only then could you quantify the mass of fire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even still, doing so would require mathematically determining the amount of gas in the flame and what the gas\u2019 mass was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At current, the measurement options are far too challenging to quantify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fire can\u2019t burn in an enclosed container since it needs oxygen to grow. Without oxygen, the fire would end quickly, possibly before you could measure its beginning stages versus middle stages versus end stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you repeated the experiment, it wouldn\u2019t work. You could maybe increase the size of the container so it has more oxygen, but the fire might last only marginally longer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, working with fire is dangerous.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you understand then why this has been unachievable? Maybe someday technology will advance to the point where a mathematician or physicist (or both) can use computer modeling to determine how much mass fire has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless and until that happens, we can\u2019t say for sure what the mass of fire is, only that it has mass.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Fire_Increase_Weight\"><\/span><strong>Does Fire Increase Weight?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Going back to what we mentioned in the first section, you cannot be crushed by fire. It\u2019s simply not that heavy. It can burn you and choke you with its thick smoke, but it cannot crush you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about the falling objects and debris that so often accompany a burning building?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say, for example, that a ceiling panel or a column was alight. Does the addition of the fire make the panel or column weigh more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, does fire increase the weight of an object that\u2019s actively burning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is definitely a fascinating question, so let\u2019s explore it a bit, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But first, you should click this link if you&#8217;ve ever wondered <a href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/how-much-does-a-fire-hydrant-weigh-hint-its-heavy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how much a fire hydrant weighs and what the different hydrant colors mean<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mass-energy equivalence principle, which was created by Albert Einstein, is the classic E = mc<sup>2<\/sup> formula. In that formula, c stands for the speed of light while m is for mass and E is for energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Einstein\u2019s formula posits that if you warm up an object, its mass should be greater than it was before being heated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, an object on fire is losing mass, and the smoke generated from the burning object is indicative of that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, we\u2019d say that fire does not increase the weight of an object. Instead, the object is actively withering away as it burns, becoming less and less as the flames grow higher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s certainly interesting to sit down and think about how much fire weighs and what its mass is. Indeed, fire does weigh something, although it isn\u2019t much. We know that fire has mass too, although how much mass it is, we cannot say yet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope this article gave you something fun to think about!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a firefighter, you think a lot about how fire spreads, but probably not so much about &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"What Does Fire Weigh?
