Burning wood begins with gasification (evaporation of combustibles by high temperature). In the case of a match, the flame provides the heat. However, the wind takes away the heat, and the match goes out.
A fire is kept burning by coals. The gasification of wood in them occurs in the inner layers when there is a lack of oxygen. The wind replenishes it: the smoldering of coals accelerates, the heat release grows, and the fire is ignited.
