Roku remote to control fire stick?

I lost my fire stick remote.  I haven’t used my fire stick on this wifi yet so I can’t use one of the apps to control it until phone and fire stick are connected to the same wifi. Can I use my Onn. Roku TV remote to control my fire stick?

      I have found that my Amazon fire stick is miserable at controlling even my Amazon fire tv. Particularly when I'm watching DirecTV streaming. It is pathetically slow and virtually unusable. It's frustrating that I'm unable to have my Roku remote, which I use for streaming directv, shut off my Amazon tv. I will certainly never buy another one

        Hi there! Mlll 

        Thanks for letting us know!

        Just a quick note: Roku remotes only work with Roku TVs and devices. If you use one with a non-Roku device like an Amazon Firestick or Amazon TV, it won’t function. 

        Hope this helps.
