My grammatical question is: what fire does or what flames do when fire comes into being.
Then fire lighted up. Or: Immediately flames lighted up.
Are these sentences are good? "Light up" is suggested by my dictionary, but no good result by google advanced search, there are only cases when the lighting up is aimed at something, like: the fire lighted up the sky.
If you want one word, try 'ignite'.
@centrox,
So, accordingly: I saw that flames were igniting on some torches. Is it fine?
@KaJe,
the moment the spark turns into flames:
catching fire
caught fire

Look more carefully and you will see that the fire lit up the sky.
@centrox,
Yes, "lit up" had been written, special thanks also for this!
