        I am sorry, but I do not understand the question. Could you please try to ask it a different way?

        That’s an interesting question… The flames of a fire a little bits of plasma. Plasma is a special form of matter where there are charged particles. The charged particles can carry electric current so a flame would conduct electricity just like a copper wire.
