What keeps a fire burning is oxygen and fuel. Thus, extinguishing a fire involves removing the oxygen from the fuel or fuel from the oxygen. Another method is removing the heat, and that's where your thinking comes in, but with some tweaking.

A fire brings its own temperature to the event, but any given fuel has its given ignition point. Farenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper burns, but its flash point is 450 degrees F. Ha ha.

But as long as it's not raining, that paper will continue to burn the paper, whatever the temperature. However, getting to that flash point would be more difficult if it were colder.

While there are many variables, a fire will burn better in warmer temperature, because it's easier to produce the gases necessary for combustion. Especially if the temperature affects the fuel source - the you have to heat the fuel source enough to get thegases to be released out of the fuel source.

It has more to do with humidity and moisture. Hot weather usually dries out fuel sources, so there is usually an abundance of fuel which can burn uninhibited by moisture. It really depends on your definition of "better."

It's easier to contain a fire that is surrounded by snow! Sources: My smart ass .
