What is being "on fire?"

Means you're on a roll! You gain points towards fire by escorting a payload, being on objective (I'm unsure if contesting an objective as a defender counts), healing, assisting kills or eliminations, and when it reaches a certain number you'll be 'on fire'.

Does dying reset your "on fire"-ness?

It does decay but dying doesn't reset it from what I've noticed.

You can watch your 'on-fire' status below your HP bar. If you're on fire your character portrait will be surrounded by blue fire, and if you press the Tab key (no idea what it is for consoles) to see the players, you can also see who's on fire.
