We need context.
People talking about air force bombers with
gun turrets underneath might say they were to provide
"downwards fire" -- probably not what you want.

You have two English words,"down" and "fire" and another word that is not
English, "brise".

It may be misspelled or a typo, as I see you have a typographical error in
your signature.

Anyway, it is difficult to understand without a complete sentence or
paragraph.
Was the discussion about war or hunting?
