Dealing with a series of workplace emergencies on a top-priority basis, so that little scheduled work is done.
The Accounting computers got a virus this morning, and I've wasted all day fighting fires.

military slang for a contact or "shoot out" between friendly forces and the enemy. Fire fights can last seconds or hours depending on the situation. British forces are renouned to have the best skills and tactics to winning a fire fight, earning major respect in the international community.
The fire fight between British forces and the Taliban went on for hours in Helmand province.

The Best thing in the world that gives you a rush. Hearing that pager go off, you have to rush off to the station and Get on your Turnout gear. And then find a Seat on a rig.

Then Its time to Enter the building, and Tame the wild beast within.

1. To meet aggression with aggression. In other words, if someone is talking shit about you, you talk shit back, or do something worse, such as beating their ass. Or say, if someone shoots up your house, you shoot up theirs, or do something worse, maybe like blowing it up. Basically, it means to get back at someone for what they did to you.

2. The opening track on Ride the Lightning, Metallica's second studio album. It is a fast-paced song, and it includes a good guitar solo, just like most Metallica songs. The song talks about revenge, and how war could end the world. A very awesome song to say the least.
1. Marshall: Bro, Ray keeps talking shit about you.
Jordan: Yeah, I know. I'm about to Fight Fire with Fire.
Marshall: And how are you gonna do that?
Jordan: By kicking his ass.

or

Marlon: Jamal, man, them boys just shot up Lisa's house!
Jamal: Dog, we gotta Fight Fire with Fire.
Marlon: Yeah, we should blow their shit up.

2. Chris: Hey, Frank, you ever hear Fight Fire with Fire by Metallica?
Frank: Hell yeah, that song is amazing!
Chris: Yeah, I know. I hear it's hard to play on a guitar.
Frank: You think? Just listen to it!
