Explanation
Fire is the bright, hot flames that burn and give light and heat. For example, we use fire to cook food or stay warm. It can be dangerous and cause damage if not controlled. As a verb, “fire” can mean to make someone leave their job (“He was fired”) or to shoot a gun (“The soldier fired his weapon”). Fire also shows strong feelings or energy, like “fire in his heart”.
