Fire was energy produced by 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)
