Animation is missing from The Office shoot (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

fire away

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'office shoot' is the definition.
'fire away' can be an answer for 'shoot' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'office' bit.

'animation is missing' is the wordplay.
'animation' becomes 'fire' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'is missing' becomes 'away' (I've seen this before).
'fire'+'away'='FIRE AWAY'

'from the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fire away that I've seen before include "Informally, go ahead with all guns blazing" , "Make a start or go ahead - using guns?" , "Go ahead, begin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
