It gives of light for the same reason any object does. It isn’t special.

Light is emitted when an electron gets bumped.

In a light bulb flowing electricity (which is electrons) bump and hostile the electrons of the material that compared the light filament +or gas)

Fire is created when a chemical reaction involving oxygen combustion occurs. When these reactions happen the molecules are violently ripped apart by the oxygen, and snap apart as other oxygen comes barreling in to laugh onto the atoms that used to make up the molecules. This violent set of collisions bounce around the electrons in those atoms, and nearby ones. This released light photons.
