Fire is the child of Wood. Just as Spring is the source of Summer, so the phase of birth and expansion that is symbolized by Wood is consummated by the full growth and vibrancy which Fire represents. (34)

Master Lam Kam Chuen continues to say about the role of Fire in the control or destructive cycle.

Fire controls Metal. The rising and warming force of Fire energy keeps the contracting and closing movement of Metal energy from compressing and solidifying. If Fire is weak, Metal becomes rigid. If Fire is too powerful, Metal is not able to focus inward and loses form. (35)
