Remember to follow the directions in the quest and use the "fire valves" to quell the flames else your gonna get burned, literally. I didn't and just ran in there trying to be a hero but ended up dieing to the flames. They're small red valves with what seems to be steam coming out of them at the entrance to Bael'dun just before you enter to rescue the survivors, located on the sides of the walls. They will give you a 30 second buff called "Emergency Fire Ward" making you immune to fire damage within the keep.

Edit: Also, careful with dieing in the keep. As of this patch it seems that you will die again upon ressing even close to the flaming entrance of Bael'dun. So remember to rebuff yourself with Emergency Fire Ward before it runs out. There are many other valves scattered throughout the keep.
