And for those still on a purely hydrogen based explanation try the
'Paranormal Animals of Europe' (Copyright FASA) version which gives
dragons :
Damage : (Essense)M or L vs veichicular targets with the stage
down
range : (Essense * Essense) Meters, thats 144 for great dragons
area affect option gets bigger as well but i cannot remember the
figure. obviosly use whatever version you like but thats a gout of
flame around 3 times the length of the Dragon, and it ought to scare
the life out of anything/ anybody in the vicinity. (besides setting
it alight)

Again the explanation comes to magic though as someone suggested the
dragons breath may well be used to aim the flames.
