Fire he is putting out in the car (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cashier

'fire' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'he is putting out in the car' is the wordplay.
'putting out' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in the' is an insertion indicator.
'he'+'is'='heis'
'heis' is an anagram of 'shie'.
'shie' placed into 'car' is 'CASHIER'.

(Other definitions for cashier that I've seen before include "banking officer" , "Drum out of the army" , "Bank worker - dismiss from the armed forces" , "till tender?" , "Sack" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
