Can I make raft style of Fir?

Welcome to IBC.
It may not matter, but which species of fir are you planning to use? Have you ever seen one in nature that fell over, & the branches kept growing? Show us a picture of the specimen you are planning to use. Where is Printec?

Hi Iris
There is mistake in location I am living in Karachi, Pakistan.I can't find any image of fir growing here but If I try to describe it.
It is triangle shape and grow vertically.
There are 7 to 8 branches across the trunk if we separate the each set it look like this:
1# starting from roots 2# above on 1# 5-10 inches gap and so on 3# & 4#.

Every branch is parallel to above branch.
Every branch is growing horizontally.
Branches are not multiply like other trees. Only small leaves like this:

It helps to know the scientific (Latin) name of a plant, because what is called a "fir" in Pakistan may not be a fir at all.

True 'firs' are Abies and are found all over the world, usually at higher elevation. It should be possible to create a raft by removing all but one of the branches from the whorls and wiring that branch up.

However, alpine trees sometimes don't do well at lower and warmer locations.

if fir branches not multiple then how can each branch grow like a separate tree?

I am not quite sure what you mean here, but as the tree matures the individual branches will develop side branches and resemble a tree, although they are still connected.

OK.
2nd thing is how I know that new root system is developed and now its time to cut the stemp from parent tree?

I think we have a language problem here, or confusion about raft style. If you made a raft, you would turn the old tree on its side and bury it. There would be some branches sticking up to make a group of small trees. When the raft is established, you wouldn't cut anything off except the part of the old root ball that sticks up. Are you thinking of air-layering? Too bad there isn't a bonsai club in Pakistan.
