Fix for respawning players on fire

[Failure]

I'm trying to extinguish every player that respawns on fire (This happens when you ignite somebody and they die before the fire burns out).
However I cannot for the hell of it make this work. I've tried different hooks and nothing helped.

local function RespawnFireFix(ply)
    --if ply:IsOnFire() then 
        --ply:Ignite(5)
        ply:Extinguish()


    --end
end


hook.Add("PlayerSpawn", "RespawnFireFix", RespawnFireFix)

If I die normally but uncomment the ignite line above then the extinguish method works correctly. However I can't make it work for ignitions that happened before player death.
Is it a bug? Is it a feature or am I missing something?

Edit: I think I've found out why this happens. Upon printing which entities are ignited we get this (I spawn the entity which ignites me and nothing else)

Entity [35][info_player_start]
Entity [36][info_player_start]
Entity [37][info_player_start]
Entity [42][info_player_start]
Entity [43][info_player_start]
Entity [44][info_player_start]
Entity [49][info_player_start]
Entity [50][info_player_start]
Entity [51][info_player_start]
Entity [56][info_player_start]
Entity [57][info_player_start]
Entity [58][info_player_start]
Entity [68][predicted_viewmodel]
Weapon [75][weapon_crowbar]
Weapon [76][weapon_pistol]
Weapon [77][weapon_smg1]
Weapon [78][weapon_frag]
Weapon [79][weapon_physcannon]
Weapon [80][weapon_crossbow]
Weapon [81][weapon_shotgun]
Weapon [82][weapon_357]
Weapon [83][weapon_rpg]
Weapon [84][weapon_ar2]
Weapon [85][gmod_tool]
Weapon [86][gmod_camera]
Weapon [87][weapon_physgun]
Entity [89][predicted_viewmodel]
Entity [90][predicted_viewmodel]
Entity [67][gb_explosivebarrel]
Entity [73][crossbow_bolt]
Entity [92][env_sprite]
Entity [93][env_sprite]

So I guess technically the player cannot be extinguished because he's not on fire - his weapons are :v
