As i understand it, fires are composed mainly of gas which, due to various chemical reactions, is heated to the point that it becomes incandescent (starts glowing). A common mistake is to assume flames are composed of plasma, which is not true, as plasma (i think) consists of fully ionized gas...

Fire is nothing but the visible manifestation of heat energy.
wat happens is when the chemical burns the heat of the wick makes it catch on fire or in clear words there is enough heat energy heat energy to produce light.
i.e for example turn on your heater and you'll get light.(dim)
and your bulb glows bec. of heat.
so fire is neither solid liquid or any other state of matter it is just the heat energy which becomes light energy as long as the heat energy is enough to produce light.

Fire is not a "state", but the visible manifestation of a chemical reaction.
