Why fire?

Except that they don't. I've just went on numerous Orthodox sites and the overwhelming opinion is that hell is conscious and eternal. They differ to Catholics only in that the Orthodox reject the notion of hell as a distinct place.
The sad part is that many Orthodox believe in Dantes Inferno.

[43] And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
[44] Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
[45] And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
[46] Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
[47] And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
[48] Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9
