1. Run fire1 logic when command starts.
2. Do nothing for 1 second.
3. After 1 second return true in isFinished().
4. When isFinished() returns true the end() method is called.
5. Run logic for fire2 in end.

OK thanks that's pretty clear. Is there any performance difference between the approach shown above and the code in post#15? Which approach do you prefer, and why (or does it depend on context)?
