How to unlock the Firestarter achievement in The LEGO Movie Videogame - Definitive Guide
Start up level 10 "Infiltrate The Octan Tower" (the last one in Cloud Cuckoo Land) and you should start on the pirate ship. Look for the small gray piece with a fire icon on it near where you start and where the water is coming overboard. Select Kabob Bob for your character, stand by the fire icon and press B.
The first opportunity you will have to do this is in "The Old West" hub area after you have acquired Wiley Fusebot. (You will get Wiley after completing the first "Old West" story.)
The fire starting point is part of the "Catch the Bank Robbers" task, so you will need to have that task first. If you don't, just go to the front of the bank and talk to the banker in front of the open safe. The fire starting point is close to there -- about five steps from the bank door in front of the chicken fence! But you may need to prepare it first: jump on the boxes on the opposite side of the barn, enter the barn's loft and then push the box of debris off the second story. Jump down, clear the mess and you will see the fire starter symbol on the ground. It looks like red and orange flames on a gray, square plate.
Now change to Wiley Fusebot, step on the plate and press . Congratulations! You've just popped the Achievement.
EDITS:
I've added a link I found on YouTube that shows my solution. Thanks to packattack04082 for providing the video.
If you've already used up your hub fire starter spots by exploding them, there are a couple of spots in the free play chapters that re-spawn on each play-through. See Vestride's answer for one of the locations.
A76DN7 for Lady Liberty, as she can start fires as well.

*Note: This was done in Free Play mode, it can't be done in Story mode.
This can be done with the Caveman in the Wild West. You will have to light the barn in the left side of the world on fire to flush out one of the robbers of the bank. As soon as you light the fire the trophy will pop. This can also be done in Cloud Cuckoo Land when lighting any of the three rockets. A third spot to do this is during the level Infiltrate the Octan Tower in Free Play, as soon as you start the level in the back right corner by the door is a fire spot. This can also be done in the level Infiltrate the Octan Tower right at the beginning of the level. In the back right corner in the starting area will be a door that you have to open to get a golden manual and pair of pants, you can use Gordon Zola to start the fire. Also to get this trophy you must walk up to the point and hit , you cannot throw dynamite at it to get the trophy. Check out the video below for how to complete this trophy.
You can make a fire in Wild West map to collect one of the red brick.
- Purchase Caveman character (100,000 studs)
- Go to Wild West Map
- On the left side, you need to go on 2nd floor of the house and there will be a box to push down to the ground.
- Once pushed on the ground, you will be able to use Caveman to make the fire to unlock the red brick. The trophy will unlock there.
This can be first achieved in the Wild West hub. You need a fire-starting character such as Lady Liberty, Caveman, Wiley Fusebot, Kabob Bob or Tomahawk. and a spot to make a fire. Below is a video showing how to obtain this in the Wild West using Wiley Fusebot.
Fire-creating characters are Lady Liberty, Caveman, Wiley Fusebot, Kabob Bob and Tomahawk. You can unlock this in three locations. The first is in The Old West hub. On the far left, there is a barn you need to burn down as a task for a Red Brick. The second is in the Cloud Cuckoo Land hub. There are three places in which you can set off fireworks. Lighting any one of them will unlock this achievement. Also, in Free Play in Level 10, ‘Infiltrate the Octan Tower’, when you first start on the pirate ship, there is a door directly in front of you which you can light on fire. Switch to one of these characters, stand at the point and press to light the fire.
Note: While you can start the barn fire and light the fireworks by throwing dynamite at these points, this will NOT unlock the achievement. You have to press at the point (like performing an action). And of these three points, the only one that respawns is the point at the door inside Level 10, so this is not missable.
