Well usually the smoke will suffocate you first, but it's a totally different story if you catch on fire. The heat itself won't kill you because the smoke or fire will get to you before any heatstroke/heat exhaustion comes along.

What comes first smoke or fire?

Depends. If the fire is from a chemical reaction from a natural fuel (like wood), there will more then likely be smoke first. If the fire is electrical or chemical from a highly volitile fuel (like gasoline), the fire will be nearly instantanious. There's too many unknown variables to give a 100% correct answer. Putting those variable's aside, however, this should be close enough.
