If you wait long enough they will go away but its a long time.

[Hotaru]

I found a way to douse campfires.

Well, actually it found me. I was traveling across the nefarious Frost of Belches, and swinging my mighty hammer, crushing the undead horde impeding my progress. I developed a mighty thirst, and having smashed the weasel skeletons to the ground for a while, I thought I'd heat up some water.

The campfire I made promptly plunged into the ice, melting the ice around it and under me. This would not have been a problem, if the campfire hadn't been extinguished as it fell into the glacier, leaving me floundering in the water in a freezing climate. The result was all too predictable.

:3c

Edit: upon further consideration and experiments in other biomes it seems more likely that the campfire melted enough water from the surroundings to leave me in it than that it itself fell into the ice, although that's how it originally seemed. Campfires don't seem to fall into frozen rivers.

Can you pour water on a camp fire? Or throw water/ice at a camp fire?

[Lexyvil]

For some reason in my previous world(which was 34.01), the campfire I placed in a Lair's entrance never ran out; even after fast travelling and after days of sleeping. I couldn't finish off the quest to kill the creature of the night because of the campfire roadblocking me. In my recent world however, I surrounded myself with campfires whilst having a river near me to prevent fast travel(to test out version 34.04). After sleeping a whole day, it all turned into ash.

So maybe it got fixed?

Would do nothing

I'm fairly certain if you just wait with the . key, they'll burn out eventually.

if by "eventually" you mean when the circus freezes over sure.

you cant put them out at the moment, at all, and if you trap yourself with them your pretty much screwed if you cant fast travel your way out of it.

[Supersnes]

Sadly they wont burn out if you are in doors  .

[NW_Kohaku]

Simple, time travel to before you lit the campfires - CTRL-ALT-DELETE, and end process on Dwarf Fortress.exe, then launch it again.  Just like magic, your adventurer wakes up to realize everything in your last play session was all just a notorious soap opera retcon technique.

Alternately, save, and wait until Toady adds mining to the list of Adventurer Mode skills.

"Tough luck" Wha? i just killed a bunch of stuff and I didnt even get to go tell people! Now my character is doomed to certain death because of stupid infinite fire? What the smeg is that? People are treating this like its obvious or something like OH yeah I should have known keeping out nonsense instantkill bandit hordes with fire would result in this its pretty obvious when you are clairvoyant about it! Trapping yourself in with fire at night is actually a logical thing to do in this world but I guess that's my first good character dead because of a glitch. Whoopty doo.

[Fishybang]

Oh goodness...  I remember when this thread was started...  Guys, Im old 

[BlackFlyme]

Well, now with DFHack you can spawn yourself a pickaxe and dig your way around the campfire with adv-fort.

Or use the liquids command to surround the fire with deep water to put it out.
