Who has skirts of straw, needs fear the fire

There’s no smoke without fire

Where there is smoke there is fire

Where there’s smoke there’s fire

To go through fire and water (through thick and thin)

To carry fire in one hand and water in the other

To build a fire under oneself

To add fuel (oil) to the fire (flames)

The smoke of a man’s own house is better than the fire of anothers

The sea, fire, and woman are three evils

The fire is the test of gold; adversity of strong men

The fat is in the fire

The burnt child fears the fire

The burnt child dreads the fire

Soft fire makes sweet malt

Shunning the smoke, they fall into the fire

Pouring oil on the fire is not the way to quench it

One’s own fire is pleasant

Of a small spark a great fire

When your neighbour’s house is on fire, beware of your own

One nail [fire, poison] drives out another

Little sticks kindle the fire;great ones put it out

To take the nuts from the fire with the dog’s foot

Little chips light great fires

There is no smoke without fire

There is no fire without smoke

To pull the chestnuts out of the fire for somebody

He who plays with fire gets burnt

He will never set the Thames on fire

If you can spend much, put the more to the fire

If you play with fire you get burnt

Ill words are bellows to a slackening fire

Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes

Don’t play with fire

A little fire is quickly trodden out
