Fire should have three elements present to exist
1. Heat
2. Fuel
3. Oxygen
Space fires shouldn't happen because of the lack of oxygen, not the lack of heat. If it was just cold, fires in a freezer would be impossible, but that's just not how it works.
Gas fires are already dependent on oxygen, and will go out in an oxygenless area such as the void of space. The problem is that once an object or entity catches on fire, as far as I know, it's totally untethered from the gas system - a burning cloud of plasma will consume oxygen, but a burning human won't.
