Check: chemical energy, thermal energy, electromagnetic energy.
- Chemical energy: wood contains chemical potential energy in its bonds; combustion releases that energy.
- Thermal energy: most released energy appears as heat, warming air, ground, and objects.
- Electromagnetic energy: the fire emits light (visible and infrared) — electromagnetic radiation.
Not involved (in the usual case): gravitational potential energy — only relevant if you lift or drop the wood.
