hi.is this translation right?
be on fire sth= be intersted in

[damon@English24/7]

Be on fire means to do really well. It is easier to grasp the meaning through examples.

Say you are watching Beckham play football and he is playing really well; he is scoring; and setting other up; and playing defence well. You could in this situation say that Backham was on fire.

After an exam where you did really well, when your classmates ask how you did, you could say "I was on fire."

I hope that helps you get the meaning.

[damon@English24/7]

I have never heard of a rightbridge, but Canada is big and I have certainly not seen much of it. There is, however, a Lethbridge in Canada.
