It's 'the fire' when you are talking about fire in a specific location. When, for example, you are talking about a bonfire, you might say to someone 'Don't go too near the fire'.
It's 'fire' when you are talking about the phenomenon of fire itself, as a chemical reaction. For example, 'Fire destroys many forests every year.'

It depends on how you are using the word. By placing the in front of fire you are using it as a noun. The word fire with out an article preceeding it can be used as a verb. Examples:
The fire destroyed our home. Fire is a noun
He fired his weapon. fire is used as a verb

'the' is definative
so 'fire' means any fire or fire in general and 'the fire' is a specific fire
