If the liquid is at or above its flash point, the flame spread rate is fast, and the entire pool is engulfed within seconds. ... As the liquid temperature decreases, flame radiation must both heat the liquid to the flash point temperature and supply the heat of vaporization.
In exothermic reactions, there is a release heat and the replacement of weak bonds with stronger ones.
