And how does Aquinas mean that fire is something that is hot to a maximal possible degree and the cause of all heat? Not all fires are equally hot. And the centres of stars are way hotter than fire is. And fire is not the cause of all heat: stars (such as the Sun) are not fire, yet they are the cause of almost all heat in the universe.
