According to Science ABC, Fire Rainbows are not true rainbows and have nothing to do with fire! Having said that, they are undoubtedly lovely, and when they are spotted, people can't stop taking pictures! Because this phenomenon is so uncommon, many of these images quickly become viral on the internet.
The term "fire rainbow" appears to be a misnomer invented by a journalist in 2006. Perhaps fire rainbows got their name from the wispy high-altitude clouds that look like blazing flames lighting up the sky.
