"Steemit Engagement Challenge S11/W1 - Perhaps if man had not invented fire, what would this earth have looked like?"
Hello Steemians! Warm welcome to my post. I hope that you will be doing well. I'm also fine and enjoying my day. Today I'm going to participate in this Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 11 week 1 in the Hindwhale Community. The topic of this challenge is "Perhaps if man had not invented fire, what would this earth have looked like?". So let's start.
As the fire is very important and has a very crucial role in the life of humans and other living things. Perhaps if the man had not invented fire So this world would have looked very different in so many aspects. Currently the most of our works are happening with the help of fire and according to me in the absence of fire the life on the Earth will become difficult and may be miserable. It is also true that before the development of fire the man was living without it but according to current situations the life has become very important for you and now we can't imagine to live without fire.
In the absence of fire Our methods of eating and producing and cooking food would have been different. In this way the current nutrient cycles would also been different as we use fire for cooking and making the food easily digestible. Without fire there would be a very less number of industrial sectors in the world because many of works in the industries are using fire to produce the products for humans. As we see many fireworks on our special occasions such as celebration of new year, on marriages and other special events. And we don't get to see all these things and amazing fireworks without fire.
Yes it is also true that the fire was also discovered by the humans. Actually I have heard so many theories about the discovery and invention of fire and according to the they all are acceptable. Let's discuss about a few of them.
By Friction: As we all know that when we rub two solid things like stones and iron etc its produces friction. As friction produces heat and light in this regard I have also read the in the early Life when the man used to live in the caves and in the forests. There for the very first time he rubbed two stones together by chance and witnessed a spark. Firstly he get afraid of it but laterly he started using fire to keep himself save from the wild animals and also started it using for cooking.
Natural Fire: It is also said that forest fires suddenly break out due to the rise in earth's temperature and lightning strikes and thet thing also used to occur in the recent years. So it may considered as the first glimpse of fire for the humans. And the human saw the fire Very first time by that process.
Volcanic Eruptions: When the temperature at a specific ares of land increase up to a high level and due to the underground gases the volcanic eruptions occurs which burst and release a huge amount of fire. So in the early times the human may be considered the lava and volcanic ash as fire.
Well the fire has both advantages and the disadvantages but it all depends upon the human rather they want to use fire to get benefits or get disadvantages. Overall the fire has numerous advantages. Let's discuss about them.
Advantages
Used in Cooking: One of the major benefits of fire is that it is used in cooking and it has changed our way of eating. Because in early times the human used to eat the uncooked food and the plants nuts and fruits. But with the discovery of fire the human started it using for cooking food. Now around us we can see a number of hotels, our home kitchens and dhabbas are running due to fire.
Light and protection: The fire is also a great source of light and protections. As in the early times when the electricity was not invented then the people used fire as a source of light and for protect themselves from the wild animals. Now a days we are also using fire as a source of light in the form of candles and burning of wood.
Industrial Use: The fire is also using in the industrial sectors in the making of tools and other items such as pottery and smelting. More ever the fire is also used for welding and used to make the items made of iron. In industries the fire is also used to melt the plastic and then used to make items from that melted plastic.
Disadvantages
Highly Destructive: The fire is a very destructive element and can burn everything is few seconds. It can burn the human properties, humans and even everything instead of metals. But it can also melt the metals and can convert it into liquid. So we should always use the fire Very carefully.
Air Pollution and Health Hazardous: When the fire burnt many gases release which put many negative impacts on the human health. The smoke of fire contain many harmful gases and can cause health problems such as respiratory infections and other disease.
Impacts on Wildlife: The fire has major impacts on the wildlife. When the wildfires occur it burn every plant and animals thus convert them into ashes. This is because the wildfires occur on a very large scale and become difficult to control thus it becomes more destructive.
According to our current lifestyle the fire is very essential for us. This is because our reliance on the fire has increased UpTo a high level and now we can't imagine live without fire. Currently our home kitchens and the hotels are running due to fire and without fire it will become difficult to get the cooked food for eating.
More ever many of industrial works are doing with the help of fire and thus with the help of fire we are using the things made of plastic, iron and steel also. The reason is that in the industries the fire is used to melt all these things and then make new things from them. So we can't live without fire it is very essential for us.
Handling the fire for a safe environment is very essential for us and for the other things. The following steps we can take to handle fire for a safe environment.
First of all we should never burn fire without any reason and if we are using fire for cooking then before leaving the kitchen we should assure that we have correctly off the gas and the stove.
Never Smoke at the restricted areas such as at the gas stations, Fuel pumps and at other locations.
Try to keep fire extinguishers at the home and at the burning places and also know their proper use.
We should also try to apply the smoke alarms and detectors we can do something before burning of fire.
If the fire started at any unwanted area then quickly call the fire extinguishers services.

El fuego es un elemento que le aportó mucha evolución al ser humano e incluso, lo sigue haciendo porque, gracias a él aún se continúan creando herramientas que nos ayudan a seguir desarrollándonos sin embargo, es importante que lo utilicemos correctamente.
Un fuerte abrazo💚
Yes you are right in your saying 😀.
Thanks for lovely comment 😊
How necessary fire is in our life. And how we can carry on cooking very easily by using fire. You have presented it very nicely. And the benefits of discovering fire. He mentioned the difficulties. I wish you a good day.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment 😊
