Burning spirit (4)

I believe the answer is:

fire

This clue is a double definition.

'burning' is the first definition.
(I know that fire is a type of burning)

'spirit' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for fire that I've seen before include "cut" , "Flame - dismiss - shoot" , "Shoot; sack" , "Manually operated device for dealing with flames" , "See 5" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
