fire burn
Heat causes damage
Fire burn is a redundant or emphatic phrase describing injury or damage caused by flames or intense heat.
The construction appears in folk speech and traditional rhymes—most famously the witches' chant in Shakespeare's *Macbeth*: Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Outside such literary or archaic contexts, the phrase is uncommon; speakers typically say simply burn or fire damage.
