I'm confused! I thought all these forces were important, but maybe fire is the one that doesn't apply directly?

I feel like I've seen a similar question before, and I think it was about environmental loads. Fire seems like the right choice here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about dead loads being permanent forces. Could it be wind forces instead?

I think fire might be the answer since it doesn't directly push or pull on the structure like the others do.
