Why did the mason and tanner cancel their jobs?

AFAIK "is caught in a cloud of flames" only appears when a fire man/fire imp/FB/titan uses a fire breath ability.

There are 2 ways to get affected by things like that:
Urist is caught in a burst of (insert your thing here)=minorly affected/probably not critical.Probably just 50% depending on Toady's luck roller.
Urist is caught in a cloud of (insert your thing here)=most likely f-d,because a cloud is more than just a speckle so that means it will kill 95%

The (insert your thing here) can depend on custom breath attacks,for example:a custom breath that paralyzes somebody fully.

I forgot to put a 90 between one of my fortifications and the lava channel. I had a channel next to my central staircase that acted as a torpedo bay for a fire imp. So, yeah, bends are your friend...
