It CAN be. Fire is a mixture of various hot gases, but if the flame is hot enough those gases will become ionized. When this happens, it changes state and becomes a plasma.

Why isn't fire one of the states of matter?
Fire is classified under one of the states of matter. It belongs to a more uncommon state of matter --- plasma. Plasma is ionized gas where electrons are removed from the atom through ionization. There are natural and man-made plasma. Natural plasma includes fire, lightning and the Sun. The whole universe is mostly made up of plasma. Man-made plasma include fluorescent light tubes.
What is ionized gas?
Ionized gas is plasma which is the fourth state of matter. Plasma is a state of matter that starts as a gas and then becomes ionized. Ionizing is where it converts an atom of gas into an ion or ions by removing one or more of the electrons. Also plasma is in fire not gas.
How does matter exist in fire?
Plasma
Why is plasma the state of matter that is found in stars but is not common on earth?
Plasma is a very high energy state of matter that is usually only found at high temperatures. Stars are extremely hot, which easily allows the development of plasma. Earth is much cooler, which makes it difficult for plasma to form. Plasma can still be found in lightning bolts and fire.
Is fire state of matter?
No, the flame itself contains a mixture of gas, plasma, and often small solid particles.
