In Israel, he settled in Tiberias and studied with Rabbi Yochanan and Rish Lakish, and their students were Rabbi Emmi, Rabbi Asi, and Rabbi Elazar.
After immigrating to Israel and being ordained he was called Rabbi Zira, or Rabbi Zeira. His name was probably given to him by the name of his short stature.
When Rabbi Zira immigrated to Eretz Israel, he fasted 100 fasts so that the fire of hell would not control him.
And every 30 days would go into a heated stove, to check if the fire protection is still in effect.
And he was never controlled by fire.
