What do you call the fear of fire?

Answer by  timetravel (114)

Pyrophobia is the fear of fire. One could be scared of fire if one has been burned, literally, in the past, or if one has generalized anxiety disorders which cause panic over things that can actually hurt someone. Or, if one has experienced being in a fire, or having one's house burned down.
