it depends upon what is burning and how efficient the fire is.

Carbon dioxide and water vapor are common byproducts of ordinary organic combustibles.

Smoldering fires may have elevated levels of hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide, such as a hay fire (or tobacco), not to mention tar and benzene.

Burning plastics can release massive amounts of poisonous fumes including hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride, bromomethane, chloromethane, phosgene, etc.
