Unable to extinguish fire on tables/surface

I was about to make my own bug report but noticed that this bug has already been noticed.

So here I am telling my POV to this bug.

One of my Sims was just casually going to the waffle maker(I have no idea what he wanted to do, free will was on and the waffle maker had already cooked waffles). Then for some reason the counter ignited and I wasn't able to extinguish it, since my sim complained not being able to reach it.

Then it spread out...

Even the firefighters were clueless...

So the fire is in clear view and definitely reachable but the firefighter thinks otherwise.

I couldn't do anything for some time.

Luckily since few sims were at work, at some point someone came back and was somehow left unaffected by the fire. He just went up the waffle maker and tried repairing without giving any attention to the fire.

Selecting him made it possible to destroy the fire with the "Destroy Object"-Cheat and therefore eradicate the threat.

But seriously, having to resort to a "cheat" of all things to get rid of this trouble is ridiculous.

To be fair I had this "unreachable" fire issue once before, where it spread onto walls and also had unreachable flames but I was eventually able to wait it out and my household lived without fires for a long time after the that incident. But this must be fixed.

I was unable to reload my savefile without mods enabled, so I can't test it without mods right now.

But judging that this issue definitely occurs without mods enabled will make this test unnecessary here.

I can't reproduce this issue by forcing fires through the "Inferno"-Spell I'm afraid since my sims can reach the same spot that way. But I can attempt using the SimRay(since I got one sim having one in his inventory) to extinguish those pesky flames sometime.
