I'm not familiar with fired or that module (e.g. whether its complete or 
not) but it seems like only the function declaration that are not 
commented-out in this extern(C) block are made available:

   https://github.com/jiorhub/fired/blob/master/ibase.d#L266

For example, in order to use the following function you would have to 
have arguments to pass to it:

   ISC_STATUS isc_attach_database(ref ISC_STATUS_ARRAY,
                         short,
                         const ISC_SCHAR*,
                         isc_db_handle*,
                         short,
                         const ISC_SCHAR*);

ISC_STATUS_ARRAY arr = /* I don't know how to set it up */;

short s = /* What is this 'short' for? */

ISC_SCHAR c = /* What does this argument mean? */;

// etc.

And then you make the call:

     ISC_STATUS status = isc_attach_database(arr, s, &c, /* etc. */);

You really have to know fired and apply that knowledge to this module 
similar to the call above. :-/
