I am doing a project and I wanted to know some sites that could tell me some renewable and nonrenewable sources. I also want to know what kind of resource fire is.

Fire is not a source, hun. Whatever is used (e.g. wood) that is a source, for energy I assume. Renewable energy sources are those which will continue to provide energy w/out depletion. Non-renewable energy sources are those which, once consumed, cannot be replaced on human timescales.
The main renewable resource, or rather ONLY renewable energy source is from the sun, thus which follows...
1.) Flowing water
2.) Wind
3.) Light (from the sun, in form of heat).
However, these are extremely variable and need the right conditions in order to provide a good source for energy to power our electricity and such. For example, wind speed is never constant; the amount of sunshine depends on the season/weather; and river flow is subject to weather and seasonal changes.
Some non-renewable energy sources include
Fossil fuels (~80% of our current energy supply), these include oil (petroleum), natural gas, and coal.
Nuclear energy (i.e. uranium used in the process)
I hope this helps!

Fire is not a resource. Fire is the chemical reaction. It releases heat and photons are creates smoke and carbon dioxide. What you use to start or burn a fire is the resource. Wood, coal, gas...those are resources.

first of all, fire is not a source itself, it is the result of a burning source.
some example of renewable energies are:
- solar energy
- aeolonian energy
- Geothermal energy
- water energy.
