Best Answer

Bunsen Burner flame: 1300 to 1600°C

Blowtorch flame: 1300°C

Candle flame: 1000°C The temperature of a fire can range from a few hundred degrees to thousands of degrees. It all depends on what is burning and what conditions it is burning under. For instance, a small stick burns at relatively low temperature while a large container of jet fuel burns at an extremely high temperature.

It depends on a lot of factors. For example for flammable liquids, the liquids will not ignite until a certain temperature (referred to as the flash point) is reached.
