Patience, patience... with time the fire will run out of things to burn... hopefully... well, we can hope.

in the year 2007: Surinder Singh Bajwa, the Deputy Mayor of Delhi, India, was warding off several Rhesus Macaque monkeys at his home and fell from a first-floor balcony, suffering serious head injuries. He later died from his injuries.[170]

True story

[TolyK]

well water isn't working well, i made a burrow, the fire is still going and even on several z-levels (due to the burning kobolds).
also, it seems that some of the grass is igniting again 
..
at the above: OMG LOL

Build walls of magma-safe rock. Flood the world with magma. Then flood it with water. Mine the obsidian.

[Sjotrik]

When i found out that holding shift while designating made the cursor move faster. -.-

*FACEPALM*

And when my soldiers lay down all their weapons and armor when they are training.

*FACEPALM*

In case you didn't already know... you could make artificial walls of wood or even ice as much as you want, all built walls are magma-safe by design for the time being.
And most natural walls, too, excluding, of course, ice.

[Sarda]

Oh, right. Derp. Brain fart on my part.

Edit: Does this count as a facepalm?

[Musashi]

It most probably does, but I'm not blaming you in the slightest. It took me at least 4 forts to understand the built walls part. And one more for the natural wall part.

After facepalming over forgetting that walls are immortal, I thought that you could also wall off your fort and see if the fire dies out after burning all the fuel.

Well, this fort I challenged myself to use DF without graphics or utilities. hard.
well the fires have died out and sprung back up (grass regrowing  ) so I'm just in a burrow right now. well I guess I could wall in..

Try channeling across the map a few times, it should limit the fire's ability to spread.

[Flying Dice]

My militia commander: dozens of kills, legendary axedwarf, armor user, striker, fighter and dodger. Decked out in full adamantine armor, including artifact greaves, with a greataxe made from the same. He has been through multiple major battles with no wounds. He is one of the original seven, with a wife, child and is close friends with at least a third of my fortress.

I order him to kill a Giant Badger Boar which was threatening one of my haulers. He is promptly de-limbed and bits of dwarf are strewn across the map.



Yes, I savescummed.

[Sarda]

Holy shit, you got a giant badger boar and only sent ONE dorf?!?

[Jaredus]

"Urist McRandomdwarf has become possessed!"

Ok, looks like he's a Bowyer, oh cool! I haven't gotten an artifact weapon before. Need to make sure this goes to a good marksdwarf!

"Urist McRandomdwarf has created Gebzagod, a candlenut bow!"

Welp, guess I better start buying some arrows...
