Why is fire so hot?

Fire is hot because it releases energy in the form of heat and light when something burns. When we light a fire, the molecules in the object we are burning get very excited and move very fast, creating heat. This heat is what we feel when we get close to a fire. So, fire is hot because it makes things move really fast and gives off heat!
