* In [[Larry Niven]]'s ''Known Space'' [[The Verse|'verse]], a special order of humans who train all their lives to fight Kzin get a full-body flame tattoo called the Hellflare. They are not really On Fire, but considering that they can kill 800-pounds humanoid tigers bare handed, they earned a place on the list.
** Niven also once wrote a story where a character ''lit the planet Pluto on fire''. And yes, it was still a planet at the time.
* In ''[[TheHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (novel)|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'', the final installment to [[J. K. Rowling]]'s ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series, Neville is stuck in a body-bind curse with a flaming hat on his head. Once freed, he's ''still'' able to {{spoiler|take out the snake holding the last piece of Voldemort's soul.}} Any wonder he's become the Potterverse's [[Chuck Norris Facts|Chuck Norris]] to the fans?
** Crabbe also managed to accidentally destroy a Horcrux ([[Hoist by His Own Petard|and kill himself]]) when he set the Room of Requirement on fire, with magical Fiendfyre.
* Crowley, the [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire|friendly demon]] from ''[[Good Omens]]'', makes a good chunk of the trip between his offices in London and the site of Armageddon (a sleepy little town called Tadfield) with his vintage Bentley on fire, held together through '''[[Heroic Resolve|sheer force of will]]'''.
