Shouts for something to get the fire going (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bellows

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shouts' is the definition.
(bellow is a kind of shout)

'something to get the fire going' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'get' could be 'be' ('get' can mean 'come to be') and 'be' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bellows that I've seen before include "sings very loudly" , "Wind pump; shouts" , "Device that blows a strong current of air" , "shouts belligerently" , "Fire fanner for Boswell" .)
