Fire Tory with standard quota (13)
I believe the answer is:
conflagration
'fire' is the definition.
(conflagration is a kind of fire)
'tory with standard quota' is the wordplay.
'tory' becomes 'con' (abbreviation for Conservative).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'standard' becomes 'flag' (I've seen this before).
'quota' becomes 'ration' (I've seen this before).
'con'+'flag'+'ration'='CONFLAGRATION'
(Other definitions for conflagration that I've seen before include "result of arson" , "Big blaze" , "Great fire" , "terrible blaze" , "Large destructive fire" .)
