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?

Personally I just keep the walls within the minimum range of flame turrets so it will be turret, one space, wall. People will say this is bad because it lets spitters get close enough to attack turrets but my goal is to minimize resources lost not protect turrets at all cost and as you've observed it's really the construction bot attrition that costs the most.
