It doesn't suggest anything to me like that. Maybe someone else will
recognize it, but meanwhile, could you please give a bit of context?
What subject was being discussed?

You mean "brise" like "rise," right? Not like "breeze"? Or "rice"?

Could it have been "Don't breathe fire"?

Maybe <downbreeze fire>? I've never heard the phrase, but can imagine it
designates a fire that's downwind, meaning that the smoke is blowing away from
the speaker.
