My hypothesis was correct because the coloured candles burned faster than the white candle from all the research this is because of the dye the candle had and also it depends on the wax how hard it is if it's hard then it takes longer time for it to melt. White candles don't have dyes but coloured candles do that also affect a little on the burning rate. The yellow candle burned the fastest and the white was the slowest.…

    Dorm Fire Safety

    • 509 Words

    Since I’ve always considered a lit candle unimportant in the general scheme of things, I never truly realized (until I watched the fire safety video) how dangerous even a small flame can be. For me it was tough to realize that no matter how good it smells or how calming it may be, a lit candle still an open flame and even though it is not probable, something unexpected may happen and something could easily light on fire. I found the video off of one of the blogs that was posted on the website you sent. The video really opened my eyes on how fast a fire can spread, especially in a 8’x19’ room filled with papers, wood desks, and many other, extremely flammable things. Our rooms are full of things that would immediately fuel the flames. Also, if the fire alarm were to go off, the sprinklers would begin to spray not only my room, but also the entire building drenching everything. Then the fire department would be sent and in moments things could go completely wrong. Knowing that I could have been the person behind all of that, I would never be able to forgive myself. Through watching this video and reading various articles and blogs on pbfeducation.org. I found a lot about…
