I think this one makes sense.  Why would you pick up something that's on fire?  After a dragon attack I noticed my dwarves were grabbing flaming stuff from outside and bringing it inside, burning to death as they did, and causing other stuff to catch fire.  I've had to shut them all inside until the fire goes out.

It would also be nice if they would grab buckets of water and try to put the fire out.

It's a good thing I have an enormous amount of food stockpiled so we can probably survive for a few years without going outside, though i doubt that will be neccessary.

With things the way they are, I suspect the goblins should try a new attack method: knocking on the front door of the fortress, dropping a !!bag of donkey droppings!! at the gate, and running away.  That bag could burn down the whole place.

Yeah, this is a known issue that's been around for a while.    It'll be sorted, don't worry.

The bucket-brigade idea is cool too.

Toady has a number for this bug (I forget what it is, but there definitely is one).

You might want to make sure that the stockpile is in parts.  I fear flammable barrels...
