Harry is talking to Ebenezer.
“Fuego!” Shouted someone from the walls - and for a second I was hit with a little sting of insult. Someone was shouting “fuego” and it wasn’t me.
It’s such a random statement in that chaos to be random, right?

It is vague, true. But the walls are where the Red Court were. The Grey Council were in the ball court.

Though of course the ultimate troll move to him saying that would be, it was actually future/alt Harry all along.

I always assumed it was someone else using fire magic, but telling the mortal gunmen makes more sense. Always something to learn!

Great. Harry jokes. Kinda like Chuck Norris jokes.....
"Chuck Norris once went to the Virgin Islands on vacation"
"Now they are simply called "The Islands"

If I recall, early in the series the words wizards use are personal to them.
Am I remembering this right? If so what does that mean? Of the 13 people who came to the battle, one of them also used fuego? That seems semi-significant. I know its a spanish word, but still...
If this was covered previously, sorry I did a couple searches but didn't find it.

I'm guessing it is probably used as a mental focus, so you don't really want everyone using it around you making your mind wander. Maybe like training a guard dog to respond to commands in.. German, say. 'ANBEISSEN!". Harry, with his mail order, would say "Bitte", and the dog would look at him... "Please"?
Dina:
Perhaps because I am a native Spanish speaker, I never had any doubt that it was someone telling people to fire (shoot) their guns, and that Harry had been silly for believing it was someone using "his" spell.

This made me laugh, because I remember once, many years ago, I was on a plane, coming back from Ushaia (the capital of Tierra del Fuego) and there was a man reading one Alera book. I had to bite my lip not to ask him if he was a true Butcher fan and if he was in this forum.
