A God of Fire is a [[StockGods Stock God]] who commands [[PlayingWithFire fire]] and/or [[MagmaMan volcanoes]]. Their position in the pantheon food chain varies; sometimes they might be the TopGod (this is usually the case if they are also a [[ThePowerOfTheSun Sun God]]), one of several high-ranking gods or a mid to low-tier deity.
In regards to temperament, fire deities are likely to be as [[PersonalityPowers volatile as the element they command]]. However, it is also possible for them to be portrayed as kind, gentle and nurturing, [[FireOfComfort reflecting how fire provides warmth during the cold and light in darkness.]] Some fire gods may also play a hand in the development of civilization by teaching humans how to utilize fire for their needs or may even be the ones who created humanity.
In terms of aesthetic, a God of Fire is likely to have FlamingHair or be totally WreathedInFlames. They may also be LivingLava. May overlap with AppeaseTheVolcanoGod or ChekhovsVolcano, though not all such volcano gods are gods of fire or volcanoes in general. A God of Fire may also share a pantheon with a LordOfTheOcean.

----
In regards to temperament, fire deities are likely to be as [[PersonalityPowers volatile as the element they command]]. However, it is also possible for them to be portrayed as kind, gentle and nurturing, [[FireOfComfort reflecting how fire provides warmth during the cold and light in darkness.]] Some fire gods may also play a hand in the development of civilization by teaching humans how to utilize fire for their needs or may even be the ones who created humanity.
In terms of aesthetic, a God of Fire is likely to have FlamingHair or be totally WreathedInFlames. They may also be LivingLava. May overlap with AppeaseTheVolcanoGod or ChekhovsVolcano, though not all such volcano gods are gods of fire or volcanoes in general. A God of Fire may also share a pantheon with a LordOfTheOcean.

* DestroyerDeity: If the destructive aspect of fire is played up.

* SacredFlames: When worshippers of a fire god can wield their flames.
* SatanicArchetype[=/=]EvilIsBurningHot[=/=]{{Hellfire}}[=/=]FireAndBrimstoneHell: For evil fire gods.
Sun Gods do not count as this trope unless they are stated to be Gods of Fire as well as the sun. Demon lords or [[GodOfTheDead underworld deities]] who command fire do not count as this unless it is in their title.
