It's a visible form of energy. And it contains a small amount of plasma, but it's not completely plasma. It's a very interesting concept; as we can't contain, for instance, a "cup" of fire. The states of matter, solid liquid gas and plasma, apply to matter. Fire is mostly energy, and energy has its own states.

Answer:its a little of both
The combustion reaction or "FIRE" is light heat and gas
The fuel is either solid or liquid or both
solid fuel coal wood, or heating oil, natural gas
Combustion is a chemical reaction that is accompanied by the evolution of heat and light. Typically combustion involves the reaction of oxygen with an electron-rich source such as the compounds in wood or natural gas. When combustion occurs, the heat released from the reaction warms the gas around the combustion area. Hot gases may also be relased from the reaction. The warming increases the volume, or space, occupied by these gases (gases expand when heated). What you see as "fire" is light emitted either directly from the combustion source or from the heated gases rising above the combustion source.

I don't agree with the statement that everything is classified as what you mentioned.
Fire is reaction. What cause fire is the completion of what is called the fire triangle.
Fire = Heat + Oxygen + Source
If you wanted to define fire it could be a reaction when all of these elements are combined.

Fire is the rapid oxidation of reduced materials. Oxygen is the second-most electronegative element (after fluorine) and is very reactive. Since it is widespread in the atmosphere, rapid oxidation occurs frequently. Fluorine doesn't last in the atmosphere since it is so very reactive and nitrogen (the third-most electronegative element) doesn't combine due to the triple bond in the di-nitrogen molecule. If oxygen comprised most of the atmosphere (like nitrogen does), things on Earth would undergo spontaneous combustion till that percentage was lowered.

fireplace is a gasoline that consequences from a chemical replace. it extremely is, a strong, liquid or gasoline will combine with oxygen and launch capacity, and in the technique turns right into a sparkling gasoline with a diverse chemical makeup.
