But how do you control the fire?

Build dirt roads to act as firebreaks.

That actually makes a lot of sense, and is highly realistic (we often use dirt roads as pre-made firebreaks). However, a firebreak doesn't do you a lot of good if your firefighters walk across the fireline into the blazing inferno.

I suspect the only real reason we can start fires in adventurer mode, but not in fortress mode, is that the fortress dwarf AI does not deal well with fire, or being on fire.

That probably wont get fixed until they can deal with water and being in water, which seems to be an even stickier problem.
