INCIPIENT PHASE

• The incipient phase is the earliest phase of fire with the actual ignition. The fire is limited to the original materials of ignition. In the incipient phase, the oxygen content in the air has not been significantly reduced, and the fire is producing water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), a small quantity of sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and other gases.
