The answer to whether Fire Aspect and Looting can work together is a bit complex: if a mob is killed by the Fire Aspect enchantment, the Looting enchantment will not take effect, resulting in only cooked items being dropped. However, if the mob is killed by melee damage from a sword with both Fire Aspect and Looting enchantments, both enchantments will work together, dropping cooked items and increasing the amount of loot.
