Who invented the fire?

Records show that Ambrose Godfrey patented a fire extinguisher in England in 1723 and that George William Manby invented the "modern" extinguisher in 1818. One could also argue that a bucket full of water or sand is also a "fire extinguisher" and was invented about the time people started living in houses. There are some who incorrectly believe that Thomas "T.J." Marshall invented the fire extinguisher in 1872. Others say, "Ochoa L.C Bailey July 18,1899". See the related questions about Thomas J. Martin for more about 1872. (Martin's patent is titled "Fire Extinguisher", but describes an improvement to a system of pipes installed inside a building, like a sprinkler system, nothing like a portable "fire extinguisher" of today.)

Who was the first person to discover fire?

It partly depends on what you mean by fire; if you consider the sun is producing "fire" (and, by implication the other stars also produce fire) then the first stars are thought to have appeared around 13.7 billion years ago.You might argue that the stars produce superheated plasma, rather than fire. On Earth, fires are naturally caused by thunderstorms, where lightning hits flammable materials. Indeed, some plants (the Giant Redwood is one) have evolved so that they need occasional fires as part of their life cycle.Evidence of controlled fire use has been found from Peking Man caves from around 790,000 years ago. At that time, the Earth was going through an Ice Age so it would have been pretty chilly! It's impossible to know if the fire was started naturally - from a branch captured from a lightning struck tree - or artificially.
