Summary	0009869: Dwarves will not attack creatures on fire
Description	I was attacked by a Blob of Fire Titan, and set my (melee) military to engage, but was rebuffed by "No Valid Reachable Target". Once the Titan started to attack my military (pushing), the military never attempted any strikes. I reproduced it in arena mode with fire man; dwarves don't attack fire men either, they just block and dodge until they burn to death.
Steps To Reproduce	1. Have creature made of fire. 2. Send military to engage.
Additional Information	May be a feature, but makes dealing with flaming creatures in Fortress mode difficult.
Tags	No tags attached.
