It is a chemical change in wood because a chemical change is when some object is being changed. So when fire burns on wood it changes how the wood is. The wood goes from whole to ash dust. Hope I could help. ;-)

The carbon element in wood reacts to the oxygen so it creates, energy as we all know as light and heat, ashes, and smoke. Hope this helps!
