fireFirst of all, do you mean fire as in "lose your job," or do you mean fire as in "liar, liar, pants on fire...?" There are a number of different signs.
Also, note the sign for "FIREMAN" near the bottom of the page.
FIRE
This version means "fire" in general. The hot flaming kind.
FIRE: As in "burn up."
FIRE: as in "get canned from you job."
FIRE: as in "get canned from you job." This means the same as the above sign. Sort of graphic don't you think? Grabbing someone's neck and chopping off their head?
Fire from job, "initialized version." You might see this version. You might also see it done with an "E" handshape (palm up) on the right hand to mean "excommunicate."
FIREMAN
This is the version I'd use:
FIREMAN: You might see it done this way, but again, I'd use the previous version.
INSPIRATION:
This sign represents a "burning in the busom."
