How can one use the "wrong" fire when there is only one kind of fire?
God said Get fire from here, they got fire from there. They were punished because God said do A and they did B the fact that fire is used to illustrate Do A and Not B, makes the focous of the point of this story, all the more on "God said do A and Not B."
As you two science badge 'winners' have pointed out Fire is fire. That puts the focous on What God said do, rather than the fire itself...
What else you got?
