Flame

Flames of charcoal

A flame (from Latin flamma) is the visible, gaseous part of a fire. It is caused by a highly exothermic chemical reaction made in a thin zone.[1] When flames are hot enough to have ionized gaseous components of sufficient density, they are then considered plasma.[vague][2]
