OK, then I ask you this to set up what I really want to ask you. Does Fire live? It is born, it eats, it breeds, it follows a logical path to insure its own survival. It dies. One could even argue that it communicates. Pour water on it and you near a vocal opposition to you doing so. Would these traits be deemed by you intelligent?
Now with that said I will ask you this. Isn't it possible for fire to come into existence thru circumstance of the environment without any guidance at all from a hand pushing buttons to make it happen? That is to say a chemical reaction between things that come into contact with each other strictly by chance of their random location in relation to each other?
