Apparently not an example — the enemy needs to be set on fire and keep attacking. Here it appears to be heros being set on fire.

• In one JLA issue, Orion is set on fire while fighting a White Martian. Since fire happens to be a weakness of Martians, he just goes with it. (Pictured above.)
  • Later, some of Batman's emergency counter-JLA plans are stolen and used by Ra's al Ghul. The plan for the Martian Manhunter uses nanites to set him on fire — permanently. Martians have a lot of stamina, so this doesn't kill J'onn right away, but it hurts like hell. The League manages to stabilize J'onn, but not before he burns down an entire forest in his blind agony. And in case you weren't already convinced Superfriends was a dirty, dirty lie, Aquaman gets to be the one who figures out a way around this: let J'onn wear an Atlantean suit that keeps him immersed in water constantly.

Not clear this is an example: do they attack on fire?

• When the infected are set on fire in 28 Days Later it just seems to make them angrier.
  • Molotov cocktails are seen used as effective weapon against them in the very first fight scene of the movie. Biologically they're just ordinary humans who don't feel pain, so they keep coming for a few moments, but the fire quickly takes them out.

Not on fire while attacking: not an example

• In the movie Evolution, attempts to Kill It with Fire result in a supermassive bacterium.
  • Does that strictly count? I know it was caused by fire, but it's not actually on fire.
