Fire is the debut album of Electric Six, released in 2003. The album received generally positive critical reviews.Rolling Stone called the album "the summer's most brilliantly demented party record" and Blender hailed the music as "convincingly ferocious". Three singles were released from the album: "Danger! High Voltage", which reached #10 in the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart and #2 in the UK Singles Chart; "Gay Bar", which reached #5 in the UK Singles Chart; and "Dance Commander", which reached #40 in the UK Singles Chart. Fire went gold in the United Kingdom on September 5, 2003. Later that year, the album was re-released with a bonus DVD containing the music videos for all three singles from the album.

All lyrics written by Tyler Spencer; all music composed by Tyler Spencer except where noted.

The band recorded a sequel to "Gay Bar" entitled "Gay Bar Part Two" on their album "Flashy". It was less of a direct sequel and more of a satirisation of demand for them to write such a song.

The band performed the songs "Dance Commander", "Danger! High Voltage", "She's White", "Gay Bar" and "Synthesizer" on their live album "Absolute Pleasure".

The songs "Dance Commander", "Danger! High Voltage", "Gay Bar" and "Synthesizer" were performed by the band in the live concert film "Absolute Treasure".

The songs "I Invented the Night" and "I'm the Bomb" were performed on their second live album "You're Welcome!".
