Homo erectus were the predecessors of our own species, Homo sapiens, so they certainly lived on earth before us. However, the predecessors to Homo erectus were a species known as Homo habilis (2.4 to 1.5 million years ago).
Then, depending on your definition of 'people', there were people even before Homo habilis - members of theAustralopithecus genus, going back more than 4 million years.
No, Homo erectus were not the first people on earth. They existed around 1.9 million to 140,000 years ago, while earlier hominids such as Homo habilis and Australopithecus had already appeared before them in the evolutionary timeline.
No they were not

The human species that appeared first on Earth is Homo habilis, followed by Homo erectus, then Homo sapiens (modern humans).
The term "homo" in the name Homo erectus identifies the genus of the species.
Homo erectus is believed to have appeared around 1.9 million years ago, making it one of the early human species, but not the second to appear on Earth. Homo erectus is considered an ancestor of modern humans and existed before other species like Homo sapiens.
Homo erectus fossils have been found in various locations outside of Africa, including Asia and Europe. This suggests that Homo erectus had a wide geographical distribution during their time on Earth.
The plural form of Homo habilis is Homo habilis, the plural form of Homo erectus is Homo erectus, and the plural form of Homo sapiens is Homo sapiens.

homo erectus were the first to use fire

Actually the very first hominid to use fire was Homo Erectus.
According to evolution, the first woman was descended from a common ancestor with apes. By person, you probably mean Homo Sapien. Homo Sapien's ancestors are Homo Erectus. Because the differences between the first female Homo Sapien, and her cousins, Homo Erectus were so slight, she would have mated with them, and produced Homo Sapien babies.

Australopithecus species, such as Australopithecus afarensis, appeared earlier in the evolutionary timeline than Homo erectus. Australopithecus species existed around 4 to 2 million years ago, while Homo erectus emerged around 1.9 million years ago.
Homo erectus was the first species to travel outside of Africa. They migrated to different parts of Asia and Europe over a million years ago.
