Inicipient, Growth, Fully Developed, or Decay?

Growth stage

Explanation:

The Growth stage -

Fire begins with a growth period which either transits to a rapid flashover period or, if that stage is not reached, starts to decay and fire ends. Growth phase is usually defined as the preflashover stage. Traditionally, compartment fires are either a fuel-controlled or ventilation controlled.

Fuel controlled fire is when the oxygen is available to combust all available fuel vapors in enclosure. Whereas ventilation controlled fire is when there is no enough oxygen to combust all the fuel available inside the enclosure.
