Hell is a real place which exists right now. It is located in the centre of the earth. We know this because of the evidence brought forth by volcanoes.
Hell is not simply the temporary state the dead are in between now and the end (known as the grave), for this would mean there are Christians in Hell right now.
On Judgment Day, Death and Hell will be cast into the lake of fire, and those who have not put their faith in Jesus will spend eternity there.
You say, "Hell is a realm, so how can it burn?" Well, the Lord says in 2 Peter that the present heavens and earth will burn up at the end of time, so why can't Hell burn?
You say, "How can something like the concept of death burn?" God can certainly burn a concept. He's God, after all; he can do anything.
Hell is called outer darkness in the book of Matthew, so how can you have darkness with flames, since where there's heat there's light? Again, God is certainly capable of having fire without light, since he controls absolutely everything.

As with His Kingdom of Heaven, I haven't been given a clear understanding of what being in Hell will be really like, but I do understand that one of the worst things will be knowing that all they had to do to avoid being there was to swallow their pride and humbly accept what He had made absolutely clear to them before it was too late.
Amen
