==Description==

'''Conflagration''' is an uncontrolled burning that threatens [[human]] life, [[health]], property or [[ecology]]. A conflagration can be [[accidentally]] or [[intentionally]] [[created]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arson arson]). Arson can be accomplished for the [[purpose]] of sabotage, diversion, and also can be the consequence of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyromania pyromania]. During conflagration the property is destroyed by fire. Sometimes the conflagration produces a firestorm, in which the central column of rising [[heated]] air induces strong inward winds, which supply [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen oxygen] to the fire.
