To set on fire or to subject to gunfire from firearms.
From 'en-' (to cause to be) plus 'fire.' Emerged in military terminology to mean both literal burning and the act of shooting at someone.
This is a word that gets double duty: it can mean lighting something ablaze or opening fire with guns. Medieval soldiers used both meanings simultaneously when burning fortifications while under fire!
