fires off
Shoots off quickly
To fire off is to send or dispatch something rapidly, often impulsively: She fired off an angry email before she had time to cool down.
The phrase suggests speed and sometimes carelessness—messages, questions, or responses shot out in quick succession like bullets from a gun.
He fired off three texts in a row asking where she was.
