== History ==
''Fire!!'' was conceived to express the African-American experience during the Harlem Renaissance in a modern and realistic fashion, using literature as a vehicle of enlightenment. The magazine's founders wanted to express the changing attitudes of younger African Americans. In ''Fire!!'' they explored edgy issues in the Black community, such as homosexuality, bisexuality, interracial relationships, promiscuity, prostitution, and color prejudice.〔Johnson, A., & Johnson, R.(1979).

Langston Hughes wrote that the name was intended to symbolize their goal "to burn up a lot of the old, dead conventional Negro-white ideas of the past ... into a realization of the existence of the younger Negro writers and artists, and provide us with an outlet for publication not available in the limited pages of the small Negro magazines then existing.".〔Samuels, W. (2000). "From the wild, wild west to Harlem's literary salons", ''Black Issues Book Review'', 2(5), 14. Retrieved July 10, 2008, from Academic Search Elite database.〕 The magazine's headquarters burned to the ground shortly after it published its first issue.〔Hutchinson, George, dir. (2007) ''The Cambridge Companion to the Harlem Renaissance''. New York: Cambridge University Press.〕 It ended operations.
