fire attack
Combustion-based offensive strike
Fire attack is a firefighting term for the tactical approach to extinguishing a blaze.
An interior fire attack means entering the structure to fight flames directly; an exterior attack means directing water from outside.
The strategy depends on conditions: Given the structural damage, they switched to a defensive fire attack.
In military or gaming contexts, fire attack may simply mean an assault using flames or incendiary weapons.
