A creature who fails the saving throw also suffers 5 (1d10) ongoing fire damage. At the end of each of its turns it can repeat the saving throw ending the ongoing damage on a success. This fire can also be put out in typical ways such as immersion in water and a creature who uses an action to drop prone can put out the fire with a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw.
