Thanks for answering, but that's not exactly what I meant and my bad for not correctly elaborating what I seek for; I'm trying to find the word of the state of the fire before extinguishing into ashes and after it has used its fuel for the flame. The state, where the ashes are still flaming red, not yet extinguished.

ashes

Embers are hot, still glowing. The fire is still alive.
Ashes are the cold remains of a fire. The fire is out.
