Fire was not invented. Fire is a natural phenomenon that people learned to use.
When fire was first used by people is disputed. The earliest evidence for the use of fire suggests that it was used in Africa by Homo Erectus as much as 1.5 million years ago. However, some people feel that hearths or scorched circles of stones are the only definite evidence of fire use, so the only totally indisputable evidence we have shows that fire was definitely being used somewhere between 200,000 and 500,000 years ago.
The earliest (and still very popular) use of fire is for cooking food. It can also be used to create light at night time, so you can more easily see what's going on in your cave.

∙ 10y agoFire was not invented, nor was it discovered, as so many people think. People were always aware of it's existence, they just didn't know the materials to use to get it started, like flint and tinder.
The above is correct and outside of the "Big Bang" fire has been around for awhile. But the question really pertains to How and when did man discover how to make fire! The answer is somewhere between 200,000 B.C. and 50,000 B.C. and most likely first by grabbing stuff already on fire and setting fire to a bunch of other stuff, which was so fun that once all the fires were out they had to figure out how to make more!
