The mechanisms of burning in fires and in explosions are different. In a fire, the plume of vapor evolved by the fuel has been ignited and continues to bum at the interface with the surrounding air. In an explosion, the fuel vapor becomes mixed with air before it is ignited. The flame then propagates through the mixture.
