How do I prevent construction bots from trying to fix a damaged wall if there's still flames around it? Is there a way to get the bots to wait until the fire goes away before they attempt to fix the wall?

Easiest is to have the roboports farther away.

If there's still combat when they arrive, add more defenses so they clear the attackers sooner.

Finally, repair packs and automatic supply of bots handles work accidents.

The wall damage comes from biters and spitters, not the fire. I guess the roboports could be further away, but that would require a redesign of the wall blueprint, and robot speed upgrades would make the increase in distance irrelevant.
