Not sure what is really being complained here.
The immersion breaking that is an unstoppable fire because for whatever reason, it's hard coded to aggressively reignite even water covered surfaces.
It takes out one of the options for dealing with the scenario where someone might see a burning building and be like "Oh boy, my Create Water and various Cold spells will be helpful here" but no, it's entirely useless.
Your best bet is to chug the Fire Resist Elixir you get down at the beach and just walk through it all (And have the people you rescue just walk through it all because old-noodle-arms is literally 2ft away from safety and Florrick just spams the NPC full heal on herself)
Which given that the game normally rewards thinking of different and creative ways to utilze your resources and abilities, is somewhat disappointing.
