• Spellbooks of fireball
• Fire horn
• Fire traps
• Fire resistance
• Fireproof items
• Fire ants, fire elementals, fire vortices, flaming spheres, red nagas, pyrolisks, hell hounds, red dragons and salamanders all have fire attacks.
• Extreme heat from Lava, Red molds and Steam vortices causes fire damage.

• You can inflict fire attacks in meleé by wielding the artifact weapon Fire Brand.
• The Plane of Fire is the third of the Elemental Planes
• Accepted sacrifices on a neutral or chaotic altar explode in a burst of flame. Thankfully, this flame does not interact with you, so you have to worry about neither burning nor boiling potions.
• SLASH'EM features the new role of Flame Mage and the artifact athame Firewall, which deals fire damage.
• The following new SLASH'EM monsters have fire attacks: lava blobs, hellcats, hellrats, movanic devas, hellbats, fire vampires, wax golems, ruby golems, and crystal golems.
