Hello Daniel This is an excellent question! The simple answer is no. At least not in any way that would be recognizable as "frozen fire." Fire is basically an oxidation or conversion process in which the chemical energy stored in the burning material is released as light, heat, and the products of inefficient combustion, such as vapors and particulates. Fire requires three items in order to occur; these items are fuel, oxygen, and heat. If any one of these item are removed, the fire will go out. So by definition, if we remove the heat from the fire, the fire will go out. The mass of the fire is basically the byproducts of combustion and if the heat of the fire were instantaneously removed, these vapors could be frozen and collected as "frozen fire."
