Loco Firing

The Fire Triangle |
The fire triangle is used by fire fighters to show that there are 3 components which, if all present & balanced, will cause a chemical reaction - a fire. Remove a component and the fire goes out. The inverse applies to steam loco firing, where the fireman must strive for the perfect balance of components to get the most heat energy from coal, which also occurs with minimum smoke.
