Gravity pulls denser air down, this pushes the lighter hot air, from the fire, up.

Why do flames of a fire rise even though gravity pulls thing downwards?
It rises precisely due to gravity. The hot air in the flame is lighter (more precisely: it is less dense) than the surrounding colder air.
Why do the flames of a fire rise even though gravity pulls thing downwards?
The hot air is less dense so cold air rushes in to shove it upwards like a cork on water.
How do you get a gravity free room?
There is no real such thing as a room without gravity, but you can create the illusion of zero gravity by accelerating downwards very quickly (i.e. in an aeroplane). This is one of the tests that they use for training astronauts! In addition: there is now a gravity-free plane! It's the "Zero G" plane and simulates no gravity as it dives. It is still extremely expensive, but provides a "once-in-a-lifetime experience".
Is gravity a thing?
Gravity is not a physical thing. Gravity is a force that is associated with anything that has mass.
How does inertia affect gravity?
Inertia does not affect gravity, these are two entirely separate things, even though they both are produced by the same thing, which is mass. Mass creates both inertia and gravity, but inertia and gravity do not affect each other.
What is electromagnetic gravity?
There is no such thing as "electromagnetic gravity".
Why does everything have gravity?
yes every thing has gravity
Is there such thing as a gravity machine?
No
What is one thing that affects the gravity?
Gravity is affected and effected by mass.
When you run and the gravity of the air is slow?
The question is puzzling. There is no such thing as slow gravity.
Can fiery be used with flames?
No. It would be tautology, or "saying the same thing", a superfluous repetition.
Is there such thing as gravity boots?
yes
