Short answer: “When is the fire out on iQIYI” isn’t a single, clearly defined event in the public record—instead, it points to a few different “fire”-related things tied to iQIYI, and the answer depends on which one you mean.

Below are the main possibilities and what’s known about their timing.

1) If you mean the drama/anime titled around “fire”

iQIYI has hosted several series and animations with “fire” in or near the title, and some of them have already finished airing:

  • Burning Flames (2024) – A Chinese drama that premiered in March 2024 and rolled out episodes over subsequent weeks. By late March 2024, episodes like “EP21 A Gou Obtains the Fire Bodhi” were already being promoted, indicating the series was well into its run.
  • Rising in the Fire (anime) – An iQIYI anime that was announced to air starting 17 January 2025. For a typical seasonal anime, that would put the “fire” storyline’s broadcast window in early–mid 2025, with the season ending a few months later depending on episode count.
  • fire (2024) – There is also a title simply called “fire (2024)” listed on iQIYI’s catalog as of September 2024. Exact episode schedules and end dates aren’t clearly spelled out in the search results, but the presence of a 2024 tag suggests it was released sometime that year.

If your question is “when does this particular fire-themed show finish on iQIYI?”, the safe answer is:

  • For Burning Flames : the main broadcast window was March–April 2024 , so the “fire” story is already out and complete as of mid-2026.
  • For Rising in the Fire : it began 17 Jan 2025 , so unless it’s a multi-season project, the initial season would have concluded in spring/summer 2025.

If you’re thinking of a specific character or arc (e.g., “when does the fire go out in the plot?”), that would require the exact title/episode, but all publicly visible material points to these 2024–2025 windows.

2) If you mean iQIYI “firing” people (layoffs)

There’s a well-documented event where iQIYI “fired” hundreds of workers amid mounting losses:

  • In December 2021 , reports said iQIYI was laying off hundreds of employees , with some departments seeing cuts around 20% and less profitable divisions up to 40%.
  • That was framed as a major strategic shift from “grow at all costs” to “focus on profitability.”

In that sense, “the fire out on iQIYI” could be read metaphorically as “when did the layoffs/firestorm happen?” Answer: late 2021 , with news coverage concentrated in December 2021.

There’s no indication in the searched results of a new, large-scale “fire” (layoff wave) in 2025–2026; the more recent “fire” references are about content, not staffing.

3) If you saw this as a forum/meme phrase

Phrases like “when is the fire out on iQIYI” often originate in fan spaces discussing:

  • When a fiery arc or tournament ends in an anime/drama.
  • When a controversial situation (e.g., backlash, scandal) around iQIYI “cools down.”

In that context, people usually mean:

“When will this drama/anime’s fire-heavy storyline finish?”
or
“When will the online drama/backlash around iQIYI die down?”

Given the content timeline:

  • Any 2024 fire-themed drama (e.g., Burning Flames) is already fully out by now (July 2026).
  • Any early-2025 fire-themed anime (Rising in the Fire) would have completed its first season by mid-2025 at the latest.

So if you’re catching up now, the “fire” storylines you’re asking about are very likely already finished on iQIYI.

Mini checklist to pinpoint your exact case

If you want a precise “end date” instead of a window, these details would nail it down:

  • Is “the fire” from:
    • A Chinese drama with martial arts/fantasy elements? (Likely Burning Flames , 2024.)
* An **anime** with elemental or battle themes starting Jan 2025? (Likely _Rising in the Fire_.)

* A show literally titled **“fire (2024)”**?
  • Are you asking about:
    • Plot : “When does the fire go out in the story?”
    • Broadcast : “When did the last episode air?”
    • Controversy : “When will the online heat around iQIYI die down?”

If you can share the exact title or a character name, I can narrow this to a specific episode/date range.

TL;DR

  • For fire-themed shows on iQIYI :
    • Burning Flames : aired March–April 2024 → already complete.
* _Rising in the Fire_ : started **17 Jan 2025** → likely wrapped by **mid-2025**.

* _fire (2024)_ : released sometime in **2024** , so also done by now.
  • For iQIYI layoffs (“firing” staff) : major wave in December 2021.
