There is no strategy that changes the odds on Mega Fire Blaze Roulette, any more than on any other roulette table. There are several choices that change what the game costs you and how wild the ride is, and on this table those choices matter more than usual because the straight-up and the bonus round pull in opposite directions.
Know which bets are untouched
Red, black, odd, even, high, low, dozens, columns, splits, streets, corners, six lines. All pay the standard amounts at 2.70%. The Fire Numbers do not affect them in any way. If you bet outside, you are playing a normal single-zero live table with pyrotechnics, and your strategy is the same as on any other: flat stakes, a spin count, a stop point.
Understand the straight-up trade
A straight-up wins 1 in 37 as always. When it wins on an unlit number it pays 29:1, six units less than a standard table. When it wins on a lit number it goes to the bonus round, which can pay anything from a few times the stake to 10,000x. Third-party figures put the average return on straight-ups at 97.30%, the same as a standard table, meaning the bonus round on average repays the cut. If that figure is right, number betting here is not more expensive on average; it is far more volatile, with most sessions paying less and a rare session paying a great deal more.

Covering numbers to catch the fire
The tempting approach is to spread chips over many numbers so that a Fire Number is more likely to be yours. Twenty straight-ups at £1 each: you are now making twenty 29:1 bets per spin, and the chance of any one of your numbers being lit is higher, but so is the amount of money paying the six-unit cut on ordinary wins. The expected value per chip is unchanged; you have simply put more chips through the table. It is a way of buying more lottery tickets, not a way of making them cheaper.
Bankroll for the variance
If you bet numbers here, assume a longer wait between meaningful wins than on a standard table, because the 29:1 wins are smaller and the big ones are rare. A bankroll of 150 to 200 units per straight-up stake is sensible. At 20p a number that is £30 to £40 per number covered; at £1 it is £150 to £200. If that is more than you want to bring, bet fewer numbers or bet outside.
Pace and spin count
Rounds without a bonus run at about 75 an hour. Decide a number of spins before you start, not a time, because bonus rounds stretch the clock and make an hour feel shorter than it is. Fifty spins of £2 on red is a £100 turnover and about £2.70 expected cost, whatever the fire did.
When to leave
When the spin count is reached. When a stop-win is hit, which on this table can happen suddenly from one bonus round and is exactly the moment people stay to "see another one". And when the stake has crept up from where it started, which the light show encourages. The strategy for Mega Fire Blaze is the strategy for roulette with the volume turned up: the rules are the same, the temptations are louder.

People also ask
Can you predict the Fire Numbers?
No. They are chosen by the game after betting closes, at random, and have no relation to previous spins or previous Fire Numbers. Anything claiming to predict them is selling noise.
Is it better to bet many numbers to catch a fire?
Covering more straight-ups raises the chance of being on a Fire Number and raises the number of 29:1 bets you are making. The average cost per chip does not improve; the variance goes up.
