About fire emojis
🔥 as a compliment means excellent — for a track, an outfit, a photo or an idea. Repeating it increases the praise.
In apps it also tracks streaks: Snapchat shows a flame next to a running daily exchange, and fitness apps use it for active days.
Literal uses remain in posts about cooking, camping, wildfires and heat warnings, usually alongside 🌡️ or ☀️.

What does the fire emoji mean on Snapchat?
It marks a snapstreak — you and that friend have exchanged snaps on consecutive days, with the number showing the streak length.
