As anything is heated it also looses heat back to its surroundings by radiation. The wavelength of that radiated energy is related to temperature. As temperature rises, the radiation becomes of increasingly higher energy, higher energy radiation means decreasing wavelength.

At low temperatures, the radiation is IR - infra-red, which we cannot see. As temperature rises, the radiation becomes red, then orange light. Keep heating and eventually the light will become white as light of increasingly higher energy (shorter wavelegth) is emitted. Eventually you have a lamp (light bulb) element (if it hasn't melted or chemically reacted long before that point).

What kind of experiment would prove that fire is not an element?

You could demonstrate that fire is not an element by capturing it in a container and showing that it can be extinguished, or by isolating the various components of fire (such as heat, fuel, and oxygen) and showing that fire cannot exist without them. This would illustrate that fire is a phenomenon resulting from a chemical reaction, not a fundamental element.

If a metal bar glowed red hot in a fire would it be a chemical change?

Yes, the metal bar undergoing a color change due to heating in a fire is a physical change, not a chemical change. Chemical changes involve the formation of new substances with different chemical properties. Heating a metal bar until it glows red hot does not alter its chemical composition.
