1927 October, Ivan Goll, translated by Madeleine Reid, “Caravan of Longings”, in Transition, number 7, Paris: Shakespeare and Co., page 136:
Somewhere a man jumps out of a window, / To grasp for a star, and he dies for it; / Someone seeks in the museum / His waxen dream and loves it— / But a fireland burns in all our arid hearts, / Oh, even if the Nile and Niagara / Rushed over us, we would cry more thirstily still.
The sun at the horizon, half immersed in the sea, seemed like an arched gate opening into a fireland. From the gateway a carpet of iridescence untolled to the shore. Someone, now, she imagined, will appear in the fiery gate; he’ll linger there a moment before he steps along the carpet. She caught her breath. Who was he, the man of fire about to cross that luminous carpet on his way to shore?

For open cerrado and fireland the results are good, but clouds and relief variations causes undesirable interferences, while for exposed soils is easy differentiate[sic] this interferences[sic] of the correct data.

The use of annual burning to manage pasture for cattle grazing in these areas further perpetuates a fireland degraded environment (Styger et al. 2007).
After the esteemed Connecticut native Benedict Arnold turned traitor, the British give him command of some ships and men, and he amused himself sailing up and down Long Island Sound, setting fire to towns and villages inhabited by his old neighbors. The Ohio lands given to the sufferers by [meaning of?] fire, were called "THE FIRELANDS", situated in Huron and Erie Counties. If the sufferers didn't want to move into the wilderness, they could still take their allotments of "firelands" and sell them at very low prices to people like the Ashleys who were keen to go.
seemingly a typo for "firelane"

For a sharper cardiac workout, consider Fireland 9 that cuts a short, tunnel-like swath through the forest across form the Germantown Road parking area to the St. Helens Road area. The fireland runs through 17 acres that comprise the Clark and Wilson Natural Area.

Technical Conference, Design, Application, Performance and Emissions of Modern Internal Combustion Engine Systems and Components: Proceedings of the 2002 Fall Technical Conference of the ASME Internal Combustion Engine Division:
Improved liner and fireland-ring cooling counteract the higher heat release due to the higher cylinder output and further improve the temperature distribution versus combustion chamber circumference.
2008 February 25, Simon Ellgas, Simulation of a Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine with Cryogenic Mixture Formation, Cuvillier Verlag, →ISBN, page 66:
Developers of hydrogen combustion engines have observed damages at the fireland of the piston indicating that combustion takes place inside the fireland in hydrogen fueled engines.
2019, Angelo Rosetti et al., “CFD Analysis and Knock Prediction into Crevices of Piston to Liner Fireland of an High Performance ICE”, in 14th International Conference on Engines & Vehicles[1]:
A preliminary CFD 3D in-cylinder analysis is performed, in order to understand the criticalities in the piston to liner fireland due to local pressure and temperature temporal evolution.
