Is there any way to use /fill on just the air blocks of a selected area
Specifically im trying to get it so i can put a blanket of fire down on a non flat terrain, i was thinking the clone of fill command but any way i try it theres always a possibility it'll remove blocks around me. i was also thinking falling sand and then replacing it but that kind of ruins the visual effect i want unless there a way to make the sand invisible

Yep, /fill allows you to specify keep as an [oldBlockHandling] mode, and thus only replace air. Try this:
/fill X1 Y1 Z1 X2 Y2 Z2 fire 0 keep
