Sorry but you and DJ2 are both wrong. It worked that way in 3e but was changed for 4e.

This is under general spellcasting and applies to all spells except where noted. Missile spells work the same way except they just create a missile in your hand so you have to wait for your next turn to throw it.
I don't see an exception for Breathe Fire or Flame Jet so I've always allowed them to attack immediately.
