There’s a scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail that shows a death cart in the streets of a medieval village, where the bodies of the dead are being summoned to the cart by Sir Michael Palin screaming “Bring out your dead.” John Cleese presents to him an old man who is in fact, not dead, and feels fine. There’s a back and forth until Palin eventually kills him with a club to the back of the head.
If you haven’t guessed it by now, the Fire are the old man, and they most likley will eventually get hit on the back of the head with a club.
