We present the second data release (DR2) of the Far-Infrared PolarimetricLarge-Area CMZ Exploration (FIREPLACE) survey. This survey utilized theStratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) High-resolutionAirborne Wideband Camera plus (HAWC+) instrument at 214 $\mu$m (E-band) toobserve dust polarization throughout the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of theMilky Way. DR2 consists of observations that were obtained in 2022 covering theregion of the CMZ extending roughly from the Brick to the Sgr C molecularclouds (corresponding to a roughly 1$^{\circ}$ $\times$ 0.75$^{\circ}$ regionof the sky). We combine DR2 with the first FIREPLACE data release covering theSgr B2 region to obtain full coverage of the CMZ (a 1.5$^{\circ}$$\times$0.75$^{\circ}$ region of the sky). After applying total and polarizedintensity significance cuts on the full FIREPLACE data set we obtain$\rm\sim$65,000 Nyquist-sampled polarization pseudovectors. The distribution ofpolarization pseudovectors confirms a bimodal distribution in the CMZ magneticfield orientations, recovering field components that are oriented predominantlyparallel or perpendicular to the Galactic plane. These magnetic fieldorientations indicate possible connections between the previously observedparallel and perpendicular distributions. We also inspect the magnetic fieldstoward a set of prominent CMZ molecular clouds (the Brick, Three Little Pigs,50 km s$\rm^{-1}$, Circum-nuclear Disk, CO 0.02-0.02, 20 km s$\rm^{-1}$, andSgr C), revealing spatially varying magnetic fields that generally trace themorphologies of the clouds. We find evidence that compression from stellarwinds and shear from tidal forces are prominent mechanisms influencing thestructure of the magnetic fields observed within the clouds.
