What exactly do you mean by "my arm is on fire"? Is this in reference to extreme pain? Please explain.

From what I can tell the "arm on fire" is not a good thing.
What my coach has told us is to do some isolation drills. Basically it is net toss from your knees. We just go through the ball bag which is roughly 3 dozen baseballs.
First kneel on your throwing knee and keep your glove knee bent at 90 degrees. From about 25-30 feet from the net/fence just throw the balls as hard as possible. Remember to follow through over the bent knee.
After this then go to kneeling on both knees and continuing to finish. If you are finishing properly you should be falling forward.
These drills should only be done with the intention to long toss after. That way you will build stamina by isolating your shoulder muscles and then long tossing is the best to gain endurance.
If your arm is still on fire at first then maybe do not do as many and just continue to work your way up. I do this about 2-3 times a week in the offseason and once in between bullpen sessions during preseason workouts. It is also important to do some running or cardio after so that no acid builds up in the shoulder. Hope this helps.
