Why is Steel weak to Fire?
No, but it can weaken and bend with intense heat. Perfect example of that is the World Trade center on 9-11. The steel girders in the towers became weak because of the intense heat from the jet fuel and the connecting bolts became weak. As the stresses from the heat and weight of the floors above got worse the building collapsed in on it's self and as the floors above went it took the floors below with it. Just like a "house of cards".
