Calm down, people! It's actually quite logical to assume that

A. Fire-spirits would all work for the same Vala.

and

B. That Vala would be associated with fire in some way (Aulë the Smith, Varda the Star-Kindler).

Just seems to be wrong, that's all.

I don't think Tolkien ever said the Balrogs followed any particular Vala (apart from Melkor).
