One character with a unique pyrokinetic power-set has to be Karim Flam, a priest and Second Generation lieutenant of Special Fire Force Company 1. Flam is able to generate ice by way of Thermoacoustic Refrigeration, which allows him to collect heat energy from an external source inside the instrument (this being his tuba) and then transform said energy into sound, decreasing its temperature. Ice is eventually generated by this process, which can be launched at opponents or used to incapacitate Infernals (via Fire Force Wiki).
Both the manga and the anime give a good showcase of Flam's (literally) cool moveset, but it's only in the manga where you can find an extended sequence the showcases Flam's diverse ways to manipulate ice against a large Infernal running around the city. While the anime is a faithful adaptation of the manga, this is just one of many interesting character moments that can only be found in the original text.
Season 3 of "Fire Force" currently has no official release date, but its first two seasons can be streamed on Funimation and Crunchyroll. Another anime from David Production, "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean," is currently airing on Netflix.
