Fire in a dream is usually a symbol of cleansing or rejuvenation and it could also be a symbol of war, aggression or great transformation.
In your dream, when you start a fire in your home for cooking or for keeping warm, that could be a good sign but when you dream of an out-of-control fire in your home or in another home, then that is definitely a negative sign.
A house or a home in most cases is a representation of family, so whatever you are dreaming could be closely related to your family, community or close family-like relationships. Why would you dream of a house fire?
