The flame imperishable was set to burn at the heart of Ea, in the center of Arda. The old forest is certainly not the center of Arda (Middle Earth). Gandalf says that he is a servant of that fire when fighting the Balrog. Gandalf is not a servant of Tom and I highly doubt that Tom is the keeper of that fire. I’m pretty sure there is a quote in the letters that states Tom is defiantly not Iluvatar.
