When can ice catch on fire?

Question

My friend Jake says it can, so yah. Please answer.

Answer 1

I heard of this but the answer is not what I thought it would be. I went ice fishing for the first time about 3 years ago in northern Michigan.  I would have called you a liar if you told me that you could build a fire on top of the ice to keep warm. However you can do it. I also learned that you can drive a full size 4x4 truck out there. HERE'S A WARNING. Unless you know the ice and are very experienced in dealing with frozen lakes I recommend that you DO NOT try to either build a fire or drive your car out there. the ice we were on was over 2 feet thick and was solid. ice can still be thick but can have pockets of air and slush

Answer 2

gasoline but the ice wont burn just the gas

Answer 3

Totally, just make sure that the ice has been stepped upon by quails.
