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.

It isn’t so much just fire as it was ‘things that are hot’. He wasn’t talking about the vehicle (fire), but about the quality (heat).
