I have a question about chemistry

When reading fire safety materials, it is mentioned that ammonia, alcohols, aldehydes, etc. are products of incomplete combustion. I don’t quite understand why ammonia counts as a product of incomplete combustion; those who know please explain, thank you
Ammonia itself is not a product of incomplete combustion, but it can be generated during certain combustion processes. For example, ammonia may be produced when nitrogen-containing substances such as proteins are not completely burned. This is because, under conditions of incomplete combustion, there is not enough oxygen for the nitrogen atoms to react with and form nitrogen oxides; instead, ammonia is formed. Therefore, the mention in fire protection materials of ammonia as a product of incomplete combustion refers primarily to incomplete combustion originating from nitrogen-containing materials. .
Complete combustion produces only carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and the like.
Ammonia, the harmful gas produced during fire fighting, is a product of incomplete combustion; if ammonia is present inside a tank and leaks out, then it is not a product of incomplete combustion. Firefighters usually mention the components of harmful gases, including ammonia, among others.
Ammonia itself is not a product of incomplete combustion, but rather a chemical substance. In the introduction, it may refer to the fact that ammonia can be produced during the incomplete combustion of nitrogen-containing substances. For example, when nitrogen-containing organic compounds such as proteins are not completely burned, the nitrogen in them may be converted into ammonia gas. Therefore, in this case, ammonia can be regarded as a product of incomplete combustion. .
