A meteorite that contains fire is often referred to as a "fireball" when it is still in the atmosphere and producing a bright light due to friction with the air. Once it lands on Earth, it may simply be called a "meteorite," but it does not retain the fire itself. In some contexts, if it contains minerals that can ignite or exhibit pyrophoric properties, it might be described as a "pyrophoric meteorite." However, the term "fire meteorite" is not widely used in scientific literature.
