"Have you please fire?"
Heh:) Sounds like something I would say...if I would still smoke! :)
Funny mistakes by Polish users of English

Where there's smoke, there's fire:-)
Ck. out the Polish for "Es brennt!" (Last time I looked, burning is done by means of the element "fire" (Feuer), 'cept for dry ice, not even ice at all), namely,
"Pali sie!, literally, "It's heating (up)!", yet neither direct reference to fire or to smoke (dymic sie = rauchen, yet nobody would call out in a crowded theater,
"Rauch!", "Rauch!" at the risk of sounding strange).

Pali sie!, literally, "It's heating (up)!",
Sorry, it`s not heating but burning in Polish.

Oh I know that, pawian! I only meant that, whereas in English, one tends to yell "Fire!", in Polish, screaming "Ogien!" might simply yield more bemused concern rather than panic, as Polish doesn't literally use the same expression as English, instead opting for the more precise "Pali sie!" aka "It's burning!" cf. German "Es brennt!".
That's all I meant to say:-)
