At the moment dwarfs don't make any attempt to put out fires and will happily walk though one.

I suggest that dwarfs try to put out fires by dowsing them with water. Dwarfs should also avoid fire. If they are on fire they should stop going for the booze and jump in the closest water source.

I thought Toady was working on that,and I think someone suggested this

Yeah, the current AI for dealing with fire is uniformly broken/nonexistent.  There's a dev item for this, which will hopefully get done sometime soon:

# Req480, DWARVES ON FIRE, (Future): Dwarves should really handle themselves a bit better when they are around fire. They should start by recognizing that it's actually a problem to be on fire.

And there's also a plethora of previous Suggestions threads discussing dwarven firefighters, fire hoses, fire AI stuff, etc.
