there are many
fye or fiur from middle and old English
pyr from Greek
if it is for a scavenger hunt perhaps it is a fire cracker or type of fireworks as the name for that is pyrotechnics

Khet It s not the PRECISE word but it s not wrong either. It means "brazier" but can be synonymous to hot,fire,flame, etc., so it s safe to use that.

The word ardo(-ere, arsi, arsum) means "to burn", ignis, ignis means "fire" both are latin words.
I think pyro is actually a Greek word.

According to my dictionary: "fyr" (Old English) from the Greek "pyr" but I would tend to go with "ow! ow! ow!" (as in hot! hot! hot!)
