Okay but Flambae learning he can not onlu snuff out fire but flat out take heat, i.e. make things cold. He can't freeze things, but he can now make his fire hot, or pull the heat out of an overheating machine to help it cool down enough to stabilize.
He learns this when some idiot tries to make a new Mech and power source, gets stuck inside, and it starts overheating. Flambae manages to pull the heat into himself while the others pry the thing open. The guy complains that the "ice guy" should lay off because he was starting to freeze.
Flambae didn't think he was taking heat, he felt fire and was trying to snuff it out. I headcanon that he has a sort of heat vision that helps him see the strength of a fire/flame. All he sensed was fire but it turns out he wasn't seeing the difference between extreme heat and actual flame.
Robert all but vibrates at the idea that he now gets to help Flambae understand how heat and energy transfer works for elementals. He is pulling out all the science books to make it make sense. Chad just thinks its weird
