Joel,
The Word says, "
like as of fire." Whatever they experienced this was the imagery. It is not saying "actual" fire.
Much like in
Mat 3:16 "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending
like a dove, and lighting upon him:"
The dove was the most gentle of birds. Whatever they felt and however Jesus presented himself - this was the imagery - the gentle dove.
Not an actual dove descending.
