Where fiery turns up in the game

The puzzles where fiery is the trap

stirringadjective, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is rousing, in the sense "capable of arousing enthusiasm or excitement", so fiery is there to be ruled out.
hastyadjective, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is precipitate, in the sense "done with very great haste and without due deliberation", and fiery is on the board beside it.
