It is.

Simple answer is, use 'scattering {}' along with some 'absorption'.  A plain
emission media is just luminous and nothing more.

Should be quite a few examples at the povray.text.scene-files or
povray.binaries.scene-files groups.  Even in the povray.binaries.images group
probably, along with the images of flames, fire, or candles.  Search should
locate something.
