In many survival situations, the ability to start a fire can make the difference between living and dying. Fire can fulfill many needs. It can provide warmth and comfort. It not only cooks and preserves food, but it also provides warmth in the form of heated food that saves you from the chance of getting sick and losing health. It can be a psychological boost by providing peace of mind and companionship. You can also use fire to produce tools and weapons.
Making Flint & Steel
To make flint and steel, all you need is one piece of flint and one piece of iron ingot. This item does get worn down after time, but if you find yourself with many flint & steel pieces, you can craft them together to make a less damaged piece of flint&steel. This can also be used to light mob on fire temporarily.

Be Careful
Fire can cause problems as well. If you set grass blocks or trees aflame, the fire could spread, burning the whole environment down. You can also hurt yourself if touched by fire. This could destroy whole environments and the wild animal mob that live there.
Remember to weigh your need for fire against your need to survive.
