Start motor for a vehicle to go to blazes! (4,6)

I believe the answer is:

fire engine

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

'go to blazes' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'start motor for a vehicle' is the wordplay.
'start motor' becomes 'fire' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'a vehicle' becomes 'engine' (engine is a kind of vehicle).
'fire'+'engine'='FIRE-ENGINE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fire engine that I've seen before include "Red vehicle" , "emergency aid" , "Operate ignition" , "Vehicle carrying a ladder and hoses" , "vehicle needed in emergency" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
