A firebox is the part of a steam engine or boiler where fuel, such as coal, wood, or oil, is burned to generate heat. It is usually located at the base of the boiler and contains a metal platform where the fuel rests while it burns. The heat produced in the firebox warms the water in the boiler, turning it into steam. Fireboxes are essential in steam engines, as they provide the heat needed to power the locomotive or generate electricity in power plants. The design of the firebox ensures that the combustion process is both efficient and controlled.
