He ignited the fire between two man deliberately .
@Arafat ,
Ara if you say "the fire" one might momentarily suppose it was already there; so "a fire". If there are two participants, then "men"
He deliberately ignited a fire between (the) two men
I'm not sure whether one ignites a fire but collo has one start or light

No.
He deliberately provoked a fight between the two men.
Come on Baby, ignite my fire . . . VIDEO
@knaivete,
Quote: deliberately provoked
More literal of course Vet, but starting a fire is more collo
@Arafat ,
Quote: His words ignited their anger...
Probably perfectly okay, Ara
@Setanta,
Quote: His words ignited their anger...
I'm sure perfectly collo but I've often wondered if technically correct since one doesn't ignite a fire that had been started earlier
@dalehileman,
Why u r saying ..... the fire had been started earier ?

WShat I mean is that to ignite means to start; so "Come on Baby, ignite my fire." for instance might technically be incorrect since that fire had already been started . .
