I just started learning Kanji and want to be clear on this before I go further.
"火" (fire) seems to both be pronounced "ひ" and "か". In fact, on the Japanese keyboard if you put in those two symbols one of the options is always "火".
Another example is rain, "雨" being pronounced as "あめ" but also "Yǔ" (romanji which I can't find out what it should be spelled as in hiragana) and from what I've seen 雨 can be pronounced both ways? Is this the same for 火, is this common? Is there a way of thinking about it?
