He does to a certain extent. He realizes that people love him, and they are hard on him because they care. It doesn't mean that he is suddenly friends with everyone, but the process has definitely begun, and if he continues to learn, it should continue.

The fire in "The Outsiders" occurs near the end of the book, during the rumble between the greasers and the Socs. Johnny and Ponyboy end up saving children from a burning church that was set ablaze during the fight.
Sodapop (Ponyboy's brother) likes fights because he wants to see action and things happen. Darry (Ponyboy's oldest brother) likes fights because he thinks it is a showing off of muscle and he wants to fight everyone to show he was strong.
