I don't remember ever being able to turn the thing off.
I know the thing is annoying, but, you simply have to take each party member separately and time the fireball blasts.
At this point in the game you shouldn't have too much trouble getting past the thing, in fact, I don't think anyone in my last party got hit.
When it comes to picking up those items which are laying around the floor, just have the person who's wearing the 'Boots of Speed' go get them.
