Fire was energy produced by rapid oxidation.
The earliest splinter of Scaroth showed mankind how to make fire. (DW: City of Death)
By roughly 100,000 BC, fire had become a precious commodity, as relatively few humans knew how to recreate it once it was snuffed out; in some tribes this knowledge was held only by a select few. The First Doctor and his companions Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright and Susan Foreman encountered a tribe looking for this knowledge; Chesterton ultimately showed Za, a tribal leader whose predecessor was unable to give him the secret before dying, how to make fire. (DW: An Unearthly Child)
The Tenth Doctor once commented that fire was "so fun to look at! But bad for the skin!" (IDW: Ground Control)
Incidents involving fire
- The First Doctor accidentally inspired Nero to start the Great Fire of Rome in 64. (DW: The Romans)

- Ky used fire to ward of Mutts. (DW: The Mutants)
- During the Fourth Doctor's sacrifice by the Deons, fire was used to burn the ropes holding a rock above him. (DW: Meglos)
- In Victorian era London, Leela savagely attacked the Linktons' teleportation device. It sparked and started a fire. This fire then went on to melt the Linktons present, as they were mostly made of wax. (PHS: The Living Wax)
- The Great Fire of London started when a Terileptil weapon overloaded in a building on Pudding Lane, London in 1666. Much of the city was burnt, but it proved helpful in clearing the bubonic plague from the city. (DW: The Visitation)
- The Tenth Doctor used a burning stick to light a funeral pyre for the Master. (DW: Last of the Time Lords)
