Abstract
Historically, simple graphical models have been used to describe the processes of combustion and fire. The fire triangle and its variants, the fire tetrahedron and pentahedron, are some of these models. However, none of them consider characteristics such as color, smoke or flame, This short communication based on Finite Projective Geometry presents a 7 sided model called QF7, which introduces these features in the representation of the process of fire.
