And the Navy will be searching for us and they will send a ship, perhaps Daddie's ship, to rescue us."

In Lord of the Flies chapter 12 what is ironical about the fire?
The irony is that Ralph has continually sought to remind the boys of the need to keep a signal fire lit in order to stand a chance of being rescued. At this point in the novel when Jack has given himself over completely to savagery and dismissed all thoughts of rescue from his mind. Jack's only intention in lighting the fire was to drive Ralph out of hiding with the intention of then killing him. That this murder motivated fire, lit by a person with no thought of rescue, should actual serve as the mechanism which rescues Ralph from Jack's intentions and indeed rescues all the remaining boys from the island and Jack's tyranny is without doubt ironic.
How was the conflict between Jack and Ralph resolved?
If you're talking about the conflict in the beginning of the book concerning who gets to be leader, it was resolved when Ralph allowed Jack to be the leader of the hunters. If you're talking the conflict between the two characters of Jack being savage and Ralph trying to stay civilized, it is never resolved but it is ended when SPOILER ALERT the ship comes and rescues them. You are probably wanting the answer for the conflict in leadership (the first one).
