Do flames contain plasma?

Answer:
The bottom line is that a flame only becomes a plasma if it gets hot enough. Flames at lower temperatures do not contain enough ionization to become a plasma. On the other hand, a higher-temperature flame does indeed contain enough freed electrons and ions to act as a plasma. ... A candle flame is therefore not a plasma.

Fire (flames) may contain plasma, albeit one that is a partially ionized plasma, and dominated by collisions: “Whether a plasma exists in a flame depends on the material being burned and the temperature”. Any ionized gas cannot be called a plasma, of course; there is always a small degree of ionization in any gas.❤
