Living things do ALL of these:

Move - fire moves
Respire - Fire absorbs oxygen and gives out CO2 and CO, so yes
Grow - Fire spreads. ie. grows
Reproduce - Lights other stuff - yes
Excrete - Gives off waste. ie. CO2, CO and ash - yes
Eats and drinks - Well, it eats things in its path by burning them, but doesn't drink. So, maybe
Is sensative - Fire is not sensative. It does not sense anything, therefore, not living. Also, it doesn't drink

Well?

Rrrrrrrrright...

Technically it fits most of the criteria:

Respirates - it absords oxygen and emits CO2
Reproduces - given the right temp and substance it lights other stuff, yes.
Excretes - well it gives out C02, a waste product
Moves - it flickers and stuff and burns energy
Requires fuel - Yep, oxygen and something flamable and heat

But technically it is dead as a lump of plastercine.

Let's all go back to school.

What do all living things have to do?
All that movement, respiration, growth crap.

Fire does them all.
It is alive.
Technically.

How can fire be alive?
