No. The "fire" of a star is not really fire. Fire as we think of it is combustion; a process by which some flammable substance undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen. Stars are powered by nuclear fusion instead. In this process, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium. Nuclear fusion is millions of times more efficient than combustion. What looks like fire in a star is really plasma heated by this reaction.

The Hydrogen fuses into Helium due to the great pressure inside the star. The fusion process transforms some of the mass of the elementary particles into heat.
