Evidence for the use of fire by Homo erectus by about 400,000 years ago has wide scholarly support. Claims for the earliest definitive evidence of control of fire by a member of Homo range from 0.2 to 1.7 million years ago (mya).
The use of fire by early humans reminds us that we must be able to adapt to change.

Humans have had fire since prehistory... If you mean Indians as in the Native Americans, then yes. If you mean the ancient cultures of the Indus Valley, then yes. Fire was around even in Paleolithic times. Humans have had fire since prehistory... If you mean Indians as in the Native Americans, then yes.

Homo erectus is believed to have been the first species to control and use fire. Evidence from archaeological sites suggests that they were using fire as far back as 1.5 million years ago.
The use of fire by early humans reminds us that sometimes they adapted by changing the environment not themselves.
wintop is use to control fire
Early humans likely learned to make weapons first, as they would have needed tools for hunting and protection. However, evidence suggests that the control and use of fire came shortly after, aiding in cooking food, providing warmth, and offering protection from predators.
Fire extinguishers!!
Fire was not "invented" - it is a chemical reaction that has taken place long before any humans were involved. Human beings have had the ability to control fire for hundreds of thousands of years, if not longer. Nobody knows exactly when and how this first took place - the only evidence we have is the use of fire in eg. making tools that we can find through archeological digs.
The Stone Age is generally considered to be the period between about 450,000 years ago and about 2,300 years ago, when humans first began to work with metals (the Bronze Age). The earliest evidence we have of hominids regularly using fire is from about 1.6 million years ago, although presumably, the migration of hominids from the warmth of the African continent into areas of Asia and Europe necessitated the use of fire for heating. Based on current evidence, anatomically modern humans appear to have been around for only the last 150-200,000 years. Since the ancestors of modern humans regularly used fire for various purposes, there are a couple of answers to your question: 1) Before the stone age 2) It depends on what you mean by "humans"
Fire was first controlled by Homo Erectus about 1.4 or 1.5 million years ago. Although there are disagreements on that front, of course.
Fire has been present on Earth since its formation, as a result of various geological processes such as volcanic activity. Additionally, lightning strikes also contribute to sparking fires. Humans later learned to control and manipulate fire for their own use.
