Using sprinklers
When a sprinkler is activated, stand under it for at least thirty seconds. Your fire gear will absorb some of the water. When you leave the sprinkler area, your HP gauge should still be flashing blue. When you now catch fire, the damage is not as great. Note: When you come into contact with fire, the gauge will return to normal and you will have to repeat this.
