THE EMBER

…THE ORIGIN OF NAME EMBER…

Embers plural: slowly dying or fading emotions, memories, ideas, or responses still capable of being revived.

Ember is a unique and fiery name that has been around for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to Old English, where it was used as a noun to refer to a glowing piece of coal or a small fire. The name Ember is derived from the Old English word "æmerge," which means "spark."

…EMBER NAME MEANING…

Ember is a name that evokes images of warmth, light, and passion. It is a name that represents strength and determination, as well as a bright and shining spirit. In fact, the name Ember is often associated with the word "ember" which means a spark or a small flame, a symbol of a fire that burns deep within. This name has a strong personality and a fiery spirit that is hard to ignore.

*An ember is formed when a fire has only partially burnt a piece of fuel, and there is still usable chemical energy in that piece of fuel. This happens because the usable chemical energy is so deep into the center that air (specifically oxygen) does not reach it, therefore not causing combustion (carbon-based fuel + O2 - CO2 + H2O + C + other chemicals involved).

It continues to stay hot and does not lose its thermal energy quickly because combustion is still happening at a low level. The small yellow, orange and red lights often seen among the embers are actually combustion; the combustion is just not happening at a fast enough rate to create a flame. Once the embers are completely 'burned through', they are not carbon as is commonly believed (carbon burns, andis not normally left behind), but rather various other oxidized minerals like calcium and phosphorus.At that point they are called ashes.

Embers play a large role in forest fires, wildland fires or wildland urban interface fires. Because embers are typically burnt leaves and thus small and lightweight, they can easily become airborne. During a large fire, with the right conditions, embers can be blown far ahead of the fire front, starting spot fires several kilometres/miles away*.

A number of practical measures can be undertaken by homeowners to reduce the consequences of such an "ember attack" that bombards especially wooden structures and starts property fires.
