Burning Artifacts
This is verified by posts on the Bay12 forums. Is there a process to go through when removing "verify" tags? The section could also mention that water can put out burning artifacts and that they even burn when part of machinery and similar. – unsigned comment by Vattic
- You can go ahead and remove verify tags if the information is accurate (we don't have strict policies about verification like Wikipedia). —Lethosor (talk) 18:43, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Dwarf incineration
I've done some tests regarding how much time a dwarf takes to burn to a crisp, and the results are awkward.
Although it's hard to artificially induce a fire (in Fortress Mode, AFAIK) and to have a dwarf stand idly there being burned, I've somehow used the immolate command and an obsidian wall around a dwarf. After 3 in-game days, there was nothing that remained of said dwarf, except for it's equipment. Dipping them in lava has the same effect, if not quicker.
There also seems to exist a situation where dwarves can exist in a fire-zombified state (e.g. they are in fire, but they don't show signs of it), as stated in Everburning Dwarf Science? and Dwarf is on fire.... Maybe?

Dragonfire
