If you think of the days of blacksmiths and when metals were forged by being heated to glowing in the flames then manipulated or bent whilst hot, or used for branding animals with a burn mark which healed and formed a scar bearing the number or letter on the branding iron. Now imagine what it may mean, as a double meaning to have your iron on the fire. To be ready for action, to be waiting for the right moment to strike with your iron. Possibly patience for the appropriate moment. To lie in strand make the most of the fires heat while it lasts.
