Why isn't fire a living thing?

Answer 1

Fires do not have cells, or organization. Homeostasis, would also be necessary for living things, which would be maintaining internal functions, like how we would keep our temperature inside at a certain level where it might be rapidly getting colder or warmer around us. Fire does grow and use energy, in a way, but it would need all of the characteristics of a living thing, not just two.
