The water equivalent, Neifel Flames, is smaller but AN, which makes it better in at least some situations.

Actually, I had the opposite problem. Against a small army, the spell annihilated what it hit, but that was only a fraction of the enemy troops. It turned out OK, but I'd have been better off sending the caster(a Fire King) in alone and casting Fire Storm, or just having him attack.
