Ants, including fire ants, are decomposers. Also on the list of decomposers are flies, mites, Spiders, slugs, and snails, to name a few. They are called decomposers because they feed on decomposing matter such as dead animal carcasses.

Fire would certainly contribute to the decomposition of anything it touched. However, the term 'decomposers' is only applied to living organisms, therefore fire can not be called a 'decomposer'.

Antelopes are not decomposers. They are consumers.
