Neither. Fire is a process, not a physical object. When you burn wood, the reaction is actually happening between the wood and oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. Wood is a solid, but oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor are all gases. If you have a gas powered stove, you are burning a gas called methane (or maybe propane). There everything is a gas. So fire is not a solid or a gas, but it is the name for a type of reaction that can involve both solids and gases (and liquids too in fact).
If you mean the flame that you see as being fire you would be wrong. Flame is the result of fire.Fire is the combination of heat and a combustible material. A good example of this is the burning cigarette.

∙ 11y agoFire itself is an oxidation reaction. The byproducts of fire are gases such as carbon monoxide. It wouldn't be exactly scientifically precise if you were to say fire itself is a gas, though it is comprised of gases. Fire that is hot enough can count as plasma, as the gases are ionized.

∙ 13y agoI asked this once, and I worked out that it either a plasma, or more simply a gas. It is not solid, it doesn't take up the shape of a container so it can't be liquid, therefore it is a gas.

What is the name of the process where a solid turns to liquid then gas?
To get a solid to a liquid you have to apply heat and melt it, and to get a liquid to a gas it has to evaporate. If you are talking about a solid going into a gas, then I don't know.
