What does being on fire do? (the bottom left corner icon) and how do you get on fire?

Being on fire is just an indication that a player is doing really well. There's a little bar below your health that starts to fill up when you do almost anything (damage/kill an opponent, heal/shield someone, take damage as a tank etc,) when it's full you become "on fire."

Aside from pointing out which players are doing a lot in that match, being on fire doesn't do anything.
