Yes theres visible fire but it looks like it has no animation as it does not move around and my sister has this furnace bug which doesn't let her put anything in second box.
I asked my sister to craft flint and steel to see if there's visible fire but my sister ran into a furnace bug where you can't touch the bottom square to put coal.
