The combustion of fire on the face of earth is based on the same phenomena as the combustion in our cells, only writ large across the landscape.

 Fire Planet, Fire Creature By Stephen Pyne, History Compass
Earth is a uniquely fire planet, humans are a uniquely fire creature, and the story of the fire that joins them is one of the great epics of global history.
Fire happened because life made it possible by pumping the atmosphere with oxygen and lathering the land with hydrocarbons.
Still, it was easier to keep fire alight than to continually rekindle it (the perpetual fire is a very old and very practical habit) and so the sputtering flame became constant, accompanying people wherever they went – and they went everywhere.

 Cydonia, Asteroids & Comets & Exploded Planets - Cherubim, Seraphim, Planet Rahab, The Stones of Fire & End ...
The accepted theory for the creation of the asteroid belt is "failed planet accretion" -- that during the primordial beginning of the solar system a planet which astronomers call Astera was forming in the place now occupied by the asteroid belt, but because of its insufficient mass, and due to Jupiter's gravitational influence, it fragmented.
Back in the '50's, when the 200-year-old exploded planet hypothesis was last in vogue, people were working on that, and Ramsey came up with a number of ways in which terrestrial-sized planets could either implode or explode with changes of state of certain elements in the core of terrestrial-sized planets.
These planets, the "rolling stones of fire" were capable of supporting life forms, and indeed, were the seat of civilizations greater than any we can imagine.

Planet Of Fire was commissioned on April 20th, and Grimwade was supplied a few photos of Lanzarote to help him write the location material.
Grimwade also gained permission from Saward to allude to the Doctor and the Master being brothers in the Master's final line as he is consumed by the numismaton flames, scripted as "Doctor, could you do this to your own..." This would ultimately be excised in post-production, however.
Finally, Planet Of Fire marked Peter Grimwade's last contribution to the programme, although he did submit another script idea, titled League Of The Tancreds, to the production office in August 1984; this was rejected because it was felt the storyline would prove too costly.

 Planet of fire? - Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Forum
You'd have to have a planet made up of a combustible or explosive compound or mixture of some kind, and an environment which never produced the energy necessary to ignite the stuff.
Perhaps you could have a thick layer of biological material over your planet, producing methane as a waste byproduct; the methane could burn permanently like a will'o the wisp above the biological layer converting methane into carbon dioxide and water, which is immediately used in photosynthesis to produce more oxygen and eventually more methane.
You see fire is a process- you can't just add more and more fuel, because without more oxygen being produced in a balancing process, it won't burn.

 Web Hosting News - Web Host The Planet Draws Fire From International Journalists Group
Reporters Sans Frontiers, an international group that fights for freedom of the press and journalists rights yesterday questioned the decision by The Planet stating that closing the web site was illegal given there had been no violation of the student group’s contract but The Planet refused to comment.
The government pressuring The Planet to close the site is certainly at odds with the long held tradition of freedom of the press in the United States and even recent internet legislation.
It’s truly unfortunate if this is the case for The Planet if they were unwillingly coerced into this action but if that is so then they should speak up and set the record straight rather than suffer the role of the bad guy.

The worst story of the season so far, Planet of Fire had a lot to offer, and looking at the four ideas above, one would think that this would be an action-packed story.
The first three episodes were almost total padding, and could have been easily condensed down into a single episode, making Planet of Fire an acceptable two-parter.
So all in all, Planet of Fire is one of the worst Davison stories in my opinion, alongside Four to Doomsday and Terminus.
