In a petrochemical industry seminar, a guy told about invisible fire (only heat can be felt) he said it’s very dangerous and has a lot of potential for burning. What chemic causes invisible fire? if fire is defined as the chemical reaction that produces heat and light, how is it invisible?

You know how if you heat up a stove or a piece of metal really hot, it glows? That’s incandescence, when a hot object gives off light that we can see.
In a flame, there can sometimes be tiny bits of material that don’t fully burn up, but get heated up really hot and glow. Multiply this by thousands and thousands of particles, you get a glowing flame.
Now some things when they burn, they burn very efficiently, where there’s almost no leftover particles to glow, but the flame is still there.
