I am trying to make a fire script with a stop fire command and i am trying to figure out how to stop the fire here is what i have so far:
client.lua

RegisterNetEvent("StartFire")
AddEventHandler("StartFire", function()
	local Coords = GetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1))
	StartScriptFire(Coords.x, Coords.y+3, Coords.z-1, 25, 0)
	StartScriptFire(Coords.x, Coords.y+4, Coords.z-1, 25, 0)
	StartScriptFire(Coords.x, Coords.y+5, Coords.z-1, 25, 0)
end)

RegisterNetEvent("StopFires")
AddEventHandler("StopFires", function()
StopFireInRange(float x, float y, float z, float radius)
end)

server.lua:

AddEventHandler('chatMessage', function(player, playerName, message)
	local message = string.lower(message)
    if message:sub(1) == '/startfire' then
        TriggerClientEvent('StartFire', player)
        CancelEvent()
    end
end)


AddEventHandler('chatMessage', function(player, playerName, message)
	local message = string.lower(message)
    if message:sub(1) == '/stopfires' then
        TriggerClientEvent('StopFires', player)
        CancelEvent()
    end
end)

AddEventHandler('chatMessage', function(player, playerName, message)
	local message = string.lower(message)
    if message:sub(1) == '/stopfires' then
        TriggerClientEvent('StopFires', player)
        CancelEvent()
    end
end)

StartScriptFire should return an int with the handle ID for that fire. Save the handle when you start it, then stop it later using void REMOVE_SCRIPT_FIRE(int fireHandle);

return an int? like what i don’t have much of the fire script part of knowledge
and for the void fact does it work by just adding in the void part or is there a full code part?

Also how would i add the fire commands using the RegisterCommand

	local fire1 = StartScriptFire(Coords.x, Coords.y+3, Coords.z-1, 25, 0)
	local fire2 = StartScriptFire(Coords.x, Coords.y+4, Coords.z-1, 25, 0)
	local fire3 = StartScriptFire(Coords.x, Coords.y+5, Coords.z-1, 25, 0)

fire1, etc will be the handle for those fires.

so instead of startscriptfire it sould be this:

RegisterNetEvent("StartFire")
AddEventHandler("StartFire", function()
	local Coords = GetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1))
	local fire1 = StartScriptFire(Coords.x, Coords.y+3, Coords.z-1, 25, 0)
	local fire2 = StartScriptFire(Coords.x, Coords.y+4, Coords.z-1, 25, 0)
	local fire3 = StartScriptFire(Coords.x, Coords.y+5, Coords.z-1, 25, 0)
end)

as client.lua?

would become

    RegisterCommand('startfire', function(source,args,rawcommand) 
   TriggerEvent('StartFire')
    end, false)
