Can fire be made stationary? I am attempting to render an animation where the camera rotates around an object that is engulfed in flames. My goal is to have the camera rotate but for the flames to be immobile throughout. 

Is this possible? I have seen tutorials where the flames are made to slow down, but none where they are motionless.
As long as you don't need the smoke to start animating again after it has stopped you can set the start and end frame for the bake to before the set animation frames start.



Above I have set the start frame to -50 and the end frame to 1.  Once baked, the smoke animation will be done by (and freeze) at frame 1 and stay frozen for the full animation.  (For some reason the end frame can not be set lower than 1, but the start frame has no such limit.)
