I can't figure out how to make it so NPC's take damage per second while standing in fire, anyone know?

You can do this by using a <code>while</code> loop and damage every single enemy in the fire's location every second.

obj/fire
  New()
    ..()
    src.FireDamage() // when the fire is created, call the FireDamage() proc to start the damaging method

  proc/FireDamage()
    spawn while(1) // loop forever, but allow the proc to end
      for(var/mob/NPC/M in src.loc)
        M.TakeDamage(10)
        sleep(10)
        // every 10 ticks (usually one second) damage every single NPC in the fire's location
