Fire never extinguishes with gamerule doFireTick false

Mod edit:
With /gamerule doFireTick false burning blocks (e.g. stone) never extinguish

I don't know if this happened in 13w39a or b. But fire in not disgusting anymore. Its not on nether rack and lightning is setting everything on fire. I might have /gamerule doFireTick false or true. But Minecraft wiki says it does not effect this issue. Help
