It wasn't Ahab, here is 1 kings 18:40-50 40 Then Elijah commanded them, "Seize the prophets of Baal. Don't let anyone get away!" They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there. 41 And Elijah said to Ahab, "Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain." 42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees. 43 "Go and look toward the sea," he told his servant. And he went up and looked.
"There is nothing there," he said.
Seven times Elijah said, "Go back." 44 The seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea."
So Elijah said, "Go and tell Ahab, 'Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.' " 45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. 46 The power of the LORD came upon Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel. this is from biblegateway.com the NIV of The Bible.

Elijah's servant in 1 Kings 19:3 is not specifically mentioned by name. However, it is likely that the servant referred to in this verse is the same servant who accompanied Elijah in other parts of the story, such as in 1 Kings 18.

Where did Elijah pray for fire?
Elijah didn't have the power to call down fire. No one does but God made in so because Elijah used it to witness to the pagans.1 Kings 18: 36/37"At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again."Based on this passage out of 1 Kings, it seems like God asked Elijah to do this, but we may not know for sure.As for 2nd Kings chapter 1 when Elijah calls down fire to consume the captain and the 50 men (twice), he may not have had permission but God did not have to send fire if he did not want to. So really, we have no idea if he had permission or not BUT it was still up to God whether to send the fire or not.
