I was actually looking into this myself and this is what I've gathered. Fire is basically the releasing of molecules such as carbon which then combine with oxygen to form a complete pair. This process releases energy , which "excites nearby electrons" which then give of electro magnetic energy to which the light waves are channeled through the eye to hit the retina which give us the image of light. Correct me if I'm wrong but that is what I have gathered thus far.
