Fire In Microgravity
This is a by the way, but Wikipedia's entry on flame says that in microgravity or zero gravity, flames become spherical, and turn blue. Neat, huh?

Yup, and smoke essentially becomes an outer layer around them. In fact, unless you have either a smokeless fire or moving air, a fire will put itself out rather quickly simply by smothering itself with an outer "casing" of smoke.

I think the strips from [url=http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1900/fc01868.htm]this[/url] strip on are relevant. Especially [url=http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1900/fc01872.htm]this[/url] one. ;)
