The fire isn't typically moving at a speed that it is actually undodgeable.

We can also address how you can do that if you wish to apply real world behavior to it.

in some instances, its close enough, that people shouldn't - but still do - dodge it and only get a little singe.

but as far as a fantasy match up, I wouldn't see a problem with dodging it, at a great enough distance. the way people end up describing everything anyway, they usually don't 'miss' any thing, so if you're aiming at me, or moving into position to aim, with a gun, or a fire staff, or pointing stick of doom - anyone's inital reaction is to run, and dodge. Unless they are A) completely confident, B) frozen stiff out of fear, or C) In a movie/book
