Midrash su I Re 18:38

Our Rabbis were taught: "There are six kinds of fire: Fire that eats but does not drink; that drinks but does not eat; that eats and drinks; that burns up moist things as well as dry; fire that counteracts other fire; fire that supersedes fire; to wit, that eats but does not drink, refers to a common fire; that drinks but does not eat, refers to a fever; that eats and drinks, refers to that of Elijah; as it is written (I Kings 18, 38) And licked up the water that was in the trench; that burns up moist things as well as dry, refers to fire on the altar; fire that counteracts other fire, refers to Gabriel; fire that supersedes fire, refers unto the Shechina, for the Mastetr said God. stretched out His finger among the angels and consumed them."
