Tradition reads this as a sign of God's presence, with the bush showing Israel's survival in suffering. In the primary lessons: In science, a flame needs fuel, oxygen and heat (the fire triangle); the blue part of a gas flame is hottest. In safety, keep hair, sleeves and paper away from flames; never leave candles burning alone; if clothes catch fire, «stop, drop and roll». In stories, flames show danger or warmth. Phrases: «burst into flames», «go up in flames», «an old flame» (an old boyfriend or girlfriend).
