Latin words for “Fire”?

Question

I was using Google Translate to find a few possible Latin words for “fire,” but I want to ensure they are accurate. Here are the options I came up with: “Ignea,” “Igneo,” “Ignei,” “Ignee,” and “Ignius.” 
My main questions are: 1) What are the differences among these Latin words (are some adjectives, some nouns, etc.), and 2) Which one is most appropriate to describe something that is engulfed in fire? 
Thank you for your insights!

Latin is radically different from English – the endings on words tell their function in a sentence and whether they are singular or plural and whether they describe a masculine, feminine, or neuter thing.
The first three (ignea, igneo, ignei) are different forms of the word ‘igneus,’ which means ‘fiery.’ Ignee’ is an adverb form that would translate as ardently. ‘Ignius’ must be a spelling error – no such word in Latin.
With all that, best word to describe something engulfed in flames is ‘flagratus’ – but realize the ending of that word would change based the gender and number of what is burning and the use of that word in a sentence.
