Prime Timeline
(The root of all realities)


Fire was the product of the combustion of materials, creating energy as light and heat.[1] The sensors aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 were so sensitive, Captain Kirk claimed that they could pinpoint the heat of the flame from a lit match anywhere on the surface of a planet from orbit.[2] When a fire broke out in the phaser control room, Commander Spock attempted to extinguish it with his hands; although he was burned, he refused to acknowledge feeling any pain.[3] Although Trelane created a replica of an 18th Century dwelling on Gothos with his powers after observing Earth through a telescope, his inexperience left the simulation incomplete, as the fire produced no heat, and the food and drink had no flavor.[4] Captain Kirk used a piece of flint and a shard of obsidian to produce the spark for a small fire that he used to ignite gunpowder in an ad-hoc cannon while placed in single combat against a Gorn captain on Stardate 3045.6.[5]
