After being ludicrously dispatched as a fire-resistant mutant by getting shoved into the furnace, I suggest that the responsible party should get various silly messages about how they can't seem to burn the guy with fire resistance rather than be able to kill a guy capable of standing in the middle of an overloading engine without dying simply by shoving him into a small box.
"You shove X into the furnace, but they pop right out again."
"You try shoving X into the furnace, but notice with dismay that they don't appear to be burning."
"X pops out of the furnace with a grin on their face, apparently unharmed."

"X gazes at you at you from the furnace angrily/forlornly/with great interest/with great boredom."
Why not have flipping break the furnace then?

Sabotage all the furnaces by stuffing them full of fire-resist monkeys.

Only if filling the monkeys with fliptonium first is required for the furnaces to burst open resulting in a small wave of Searing Heat and a permanently damaged furnace.

Heat resistance is not the same as heat immunity - the temperatures of the engine are still enough to kill you. And I don't just mean furnaces, either, standing too close to a heat-the-halls hellburn will kill you just fine.

I can't help but think that changing up a small excerpt from the Cremation of Sam McGee would work great for anyone trying to use a furnace with someone fire resistant in it. Here is the original ending.
Quote:I do not know how long in the snow I wrestled with grisly fear;
But the stars came out and they danced about ere again I ventured near;
I was sick with dread, but I bravely said: "I'll just take a peep inside.
I guess he's cooked, and it's time I looked"; ... then the door I opened wide.
And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace roar;
And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: "Please close that door.
It's fine in here, but I greatly fear you'll let in the cold and storm—
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it's the first time I've been warm."
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
And a first pass at an edit.
