Fire is the debut album of Electric Six, released in 2003. The album received generally positive critical reviews.[12] Rolling Stone called the album "the summer's most brilliantly demented party record"[13] and Blender hailed the music as "convincingly ferocious".[14] Three singles were released from the album: "Danger! High Voltage", which reached #10 in the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart and #2 in the UK Singles Chart; "Gay Bar", which reached #5 in the UK Singles Chart; and "Dance Commander", which reached #40 in the UK Singles Chart. Fire went gold in the United Kingdom on September 5, 2003. Later that year, the album was re-released with a bonus DVD containing the music videos for all three singles from the album.
