This might be a double definition.

'city' is the first definition.
(Recife is an example)

'closed in by raging fire this one in brazil?' is the second definition.
'Recife' can be an answer for 'one in brazil?' ('Recife' is part of 'brazil'). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for recife that I've seen before include "South American port" , "Atlantic port" .)
