'''Fire''' is a [[hazard]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]]. Most Pikmin types are not resistant to fire, and if they touch a fire source, the top of their stems will begin to burn up, they will run around in a panicked state, and if not saved, will eventually succumb and die. They can be saved by being [[whistle]]d at. [[Red Pikmin]] and [[Bulbmin]] are completely immune to fire, making them necessary to handle [[obstacle]]s or [[Enemy|enemies]] that can produce or are under fire.

[[Leader]]s are not normally invulnerable to fire hazards: they will take [[Health|damage]] and be knocked back if they touch fire. However, by salvaging the [[Scorch Guard]], they will be rendered completely immune to fire. However, they can still be damaged by the [[Titan Dweevil]]'s [[Flare Cannon]].

*'''{{icon|Fire geyser|y}}''' – geysers poking from the ground that spit streams of fire.

*'''{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y}}''' – [[Enemy|enemies]] capable of spitting flames.

*'''{{icon|Fiery Dweevil|y}}''' – enemies that burn up temporarily when threatened.

*'''{{icon|Fiery Bulblax|y}}''' – [[Grub-dog family|grub-dogs]] that are constantly on fire.

*'''{{icon|Pyroclasmic Slooch|y}}''' – slug-like enemies that are always on fire. They also leave behind a trail of flames.

*'''{{icon|Titan Dweevil|y}}''' – the final [[Enemy#Boss|boss]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' has an attack that can spew out fire like a flamethrower.

The Scorch Guard is a [[spacesuit]] upgrade in {{p2}} and {{p3}}. After is is collected, the playable leaders will gain immunity to all sorts of fire attacks, just like Red Pikmin. The exception is the [[Titan Dweevil]]'s Flare Cannon, since it will stun leaders, even if it doesn't harm them.

Red Pikmin are resistant to fire, meaning they will not be affected by any flame and will act as if it does not exist. [[Bulbmin]] also share this trait. This makes them quite valuable when fighting against fire-related [[enemies]] and overcoming fiery [[obstacle]]s. Unlike other Pikmin types that can resist a certain hazard, Red Pikmin cannot use fire to their own advantage, nor can they interact with it.

Some fighters in the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] have attacks that can set their opponents on fire. Olimar is one of them – when a Red Pikmin attacks an enemy, it burns them. Similarly to the ''Pikmin'' series, Red Pikmin can completely resist any attack with a fire property, by taking no damage and not flinching.
