Looking for symbol: Fire

Question

I am looking for a "Fire" symbol: Like this, or more minimalistic:

I found this code for a Shield, and thought that maybe you could make a Fire symbol that way?

  \documentclass{article}
  \usepackage{tikz}
  \begin{document}
  \newcommand\shield{%
  \tikz [baseline] \draw (0,1.75ex) -- (0,0.75ex) arc [radius=0.75ex, start 
   angle=-180, end angle=0] -- (1.5ex,1.75ex) -- cycle;%
   }

   A shield: \shield
   \end{document} 

Link: Looking for symbol: Shield

The code for the Shield gives this output:

Any suggestions - either for where to find a Fire symbol, or how to "create" it through other ways?

Answer 1

Using the free OpenSansEmoji font and XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontfamily\emojifont{OpenSansEmoji} % https://github.com/MorbZ/OpenSansEmoji
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\emoji}{\emojifont}
\begin{document}
\Huge\emoji{🔥}
\end{document}

A tikzsymbols option and extreme overkill in the form of a .pic.

\documentclass[border=10pt,x11names,dvipsnames,svgnames]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{hobby,backgrounds,positioning}
\usepackage{tikzsymbols}
\tikzsymbolsset{%

\pgfdeclareradialshading[fradialcolour1,fradialcolour2,fradialcolour3]{fncyradial}{\pgfpoint{0}{0}}{% manual 1082-1083; later - shading is assumed to be 100bp diameter ??
  color(0)=(fradialcolour1);
  color(20bp)=(fradialcolour2);
  color(40bp)=(fradialcolour3);
  color(50bp)=(fradialcolour3)
}

Answer 3

The fontawesome package provides \faFire, which 'resembles' a bonfire ;-)

 \documentclass{article}
 \usepackage{tikzsymbols}
 \usepackage{fontawesome}
 \begin{document}
 \faFire\ needs a \faFireExtinguisher

  And there is \Fire from \texttt{tikzsymbols}
