before fighting, make sure you buff youre self up real nice(prot. from fire, haste, possibly strenght) and make sure you have a few breach spells memorized. after that, just fight him, but remember to station youre melee fighters around him so his wing buffet wont make them all fly away. this minimizes his fire breath ability. i will also post some cheesy tactics, but i dont recommend using them.
cloudkill tactic:
stand just out of his line of sight and start casting those cloudkill spells, or you can use a wand of cloudkill just as well.
feeblemind:
memorize as many feeblemind spells as you can and start casting them until firecraker fails with his saves. note that casting feeblemind will not make him hostile
big red squirell
make him hostile, cast doom and greater malison as soon as possible, followed by a polymorph other spell. this should turn him into a feroucius squirell! scary...
edit: shucks, ive been outwritten
edit2: you can also take a look at
Dundees dragon slaying tactics. here you will find most(if not all) of the tactics i just posted and more!
