As I read it, treat as fatigue. Even so, the dragonet gets 3 one die attacks before running out of usable fatigue points. I think it would take extreme circumstances before a critter would willingly let itself do something that renders it unconscious and helpless.

Unless the fire is really needed for a specific situation, I don't see 3 one die attacks as very unbalancing. Same damage as a rapier and the rapier doesn't use fatigue. After doing these 3 attacks, the dragonet will need a minimum of 45 minutes of rest to regain the 3 expended fatigue points. If the party is on a time critical mission, they may not be able to spend 45 minutes for the dragonet to recharge, or even 15 if it breathed once.
