depending on what you mean by a normal fire, which today in the fire service can range from wood to plasics, to hydrocarbons such as gasoline, temperatures could range from 800 to 900 degrees farenheit for wood, 800 to 1300 degrees farenheit for plastics and ,perhaps the most dangerous and most hard to determine its behavior is the hydrocarbon group which will burn at temperatuures of uppward to thirteeh hundred degrees farenheit.
