The Alliance have grown bold. Just west of here, in Windshear Valley, Northwatch troops have set up camp. No doubt they are preparing for the assault you warned us of, <name>. They will never get the chance!

Take this flame thrower. It is the same flame thrower my incinerators use to burn our enemies out of hiding in the forests. Use it to destroy the Northwatch tents. Leave only ashes in your wake!

Just make sure to keep flamethrow-ing for the full cast time, otherwise it doesn't count. It can't be a partial cast, must be all 8 seconds.

Neat fact: The way the flamethrower works is not a hitbox you need to hit with the flames, it works that you have to be standing beside a tent (within a certain range) and have the full duration go off. Which means you do not need to aim at the tent at all, don't worry about that, just be nearby.
