Putting out the fire? (doodad question)

Is there some way to "kill" non-destructible doodads? I want to kill a fire pit and maybe some torches through triggers but it wont work. They both have Decay and Death animations so in theory u should be able to kill them, but how??

Animation - Play animation will work

also you can create the doodads as special effects then destroy them later..

first suggestion is prolly better though

You can also make a unit with the fire model and then kill it instead of using the special effect.
