Best Answer

The heat and light from fire is energy.

The smoke from fire contains particles of water, gases, and the materials being burned that are matter.

The flame is made up of gases like vaporized fuel, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor and other gases. All these are matter - occupying space and have mass.

Yes. The flames are gases at very high temperatures. It is possible for the gases to become so hot that they become ionized, forming plasma, the fourth state of matter. The heat coming from a fire, however, is energy and not matter.
