The conservation of angular momentum. Which is closer to your first guess. I would try to explain it in a fantastic description like TLR, but I suck at that. So perhaps he will provide a more elegant answer.

Also, what is fire? Is it a particle, a wave or something else?
Fire is energy released from a chemical reaction, I believe. Though it does emit light energy waves, which is what we see; as well as heat energy waves, which is what we feel. Both of those are in the EM spectrum.
