וַתִּפֹּ֣ל אֵשׁ־יְהוָ֗ה וַתֹּ֤אכַל אֶת־הָֽעֹלָה֙ וְאֶת־הָ֣עֵצִ֔ים וְאֶת־הָאֲבָנִ֖ים וְאֶת־הֶעָפָ֑ר וְאֶת־הַמַּ֥יִם אֲשֶׁר־בַּתְּעָלָ֖ה לִחֵֽכָה׃

[The students asked,] "And why is it that chirik is of the language of burning?" [He responded,] "Because it is a fire that burns all fires, as is written, 'And the fire of YHVH descended and consumed the offering, the wood, the stone, and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench.' (1 Kings 18:38)."
