If you're doing this quest along with For Peat's Sake, note that hitting a Rampant Fire Elemental with the Blessed Floodlily will turn them into a Doused Fire Elemental. It cuts their HP in half, but you will not get quest credit for the kill.
You know those things there are only five of? Yeah, go kill eight of them.

Description
Flame has threatened me for far too long... far too long... but it is no longer the little ones, no longer mere gnats... The fields burn! The hills and highlands scream, {race}, they scream. The elementals brought here consume all life in their wake. They cannot stand, they cannot stand. Stop them. STOP THEM! Destroy the bringers of flame...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mired in Hatred
The mirebeasts to the west are not my brethren... they are symptoms of the earth's disturbance, a foulness of rot given form. You would not understand... they take the shape of my kind, infested within with decaying spores, forcing out flourished life in the swamp. They take all and leave only rot.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- For Peat's Sake
The elementals rampaging across Direforge Hill are setting the very land beneath them ablaze. In a marsh such as this, fire can find many places to smoulder through the deep moss and peat. You must quench the fires before they spread further. Take this flower...
