Why are the battlefields still burning in the Fringes?

[Chewy2nd]

So this is less of a lore thing, but it fits in here better than other forums. I think it seems a bit silly still having the crashed airships and such on fire in the Fringes, its been a few patches and the fire is the sort of thing that can be "phased" out when you finish certain quests, as its not an object in the world that can't be hidden. On the flip side though, I do like the flavour it adds to the zone, and that could be lost if the fires were removed...
