Yes, fire can harden wood by removing moisture and causing the cellulose structure to become more compact. This process is known as pyrolysis. However, excessive heat can also weaken and char the wood.

There is no way to harden the wood of a Tulip Poplar tree as it grows. Wood cannot be hardened until after it is harvested, at the time of harvesting and cutting, it may be treated with chemicals or sealants that make the wood stronger.

Wood is kiln dried to make it dimensionally stable and to bring its moisture content into a range that improves its characteristics.
Trying to start a fire with damp wood is very difficult. When I backpack I always carry some tinder (dry shavings) to start a fire. Wet wood will not burn unless the fire is hot enough to evaporate the water that is in the wood. You can burn damp wood on an already burning fire but it will not burn as hot. Wet wood tends to smoke a lot and may go out on a small fire that does not have a good coal base. I have had to use damp wood to start a fire before but I had to shave down the wood until I found dry wood inside. Once you get a small fire started gradually add wood until you can get a hot fire. Too much wet wood at once can put out a fire. Not a good thing when you are cold and wet. Be patient.

Wood that is not on fire.
well the tree would probably set on fire and the dead wood could possibly be used for fire
Generaly if a wood block is not touching a flaming block or a block that can be set on fire, the chances of the wood catching on fire is very low (although still possible)
