I do not know what the context is, however apart from the usage as a slow fuse there is that other original meaning.
Portfire is the Anglicization of French porte-feu , literally “fire-carrier.” Please refer to the illustration at the bottom of the 1st. web page. Please also refer to the illustration of the artillerymen (portfire and officer) in the 2nd. web page. |

1 day7 hrs confidence: | portfire عبوة نارية أو قنبلة نارية
Explanation:
هنالك إستخدامات اخرى لها مثل الألعاب النارية ولكن أظن أن المقصود هنا هو عبوة او قنبلة نارية وعمل هذه القنبلة هو إشعال النار عند الأنفجار بسرعة كبيرة حيث ان داخل هذه العبوة او القنبلة وقود وأوراق كثيفة تشتعل بوسائل عديدة
