An emulation of fire, even a perfect emulation down to the quantum mechanical level, still isn’t hot. There’s little reason to expect an emulation of a brain in a Turing machine to be conscious.
I’m not sure what consciousness is, but I do believe it has some interaction with the body and the physical world. I expect any artificial consciousness, biological or electronic, will have intimate relationships with the physical world far beyond anything that can plausibly be modeled as a Turing machine.
