Fire is created/started and sustained by chemical reactions, but the fire itself is heat that's strong enough to force atoms to give off light. Different fire colors come from different atoms releasing light and from different intensities of heat. So Firebending would be tied to the heat creating light, not just any energy. Since electrons are what cause atoms to emit light and electrons also make electricity, which is part of lightning, Firebending is pobably lagrely tied to controlling electrons, not simply energy.
