What about the thousands that pray for the fires to go out who’s prayers go unanswered?
Without faith, it's impossible to please God. Likewise, prayer without faith and prayer to the wrong god is useless.

There are so many, I guess in this case Hephaestus is the right god.

Yes. You do that and you'll get nothing, but that's to be expected, isn't it?
Joshua 24:15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28
You question is not a simple question, even for many Christians! God always answers the prayers of his children, sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes it is no and sometimes it is wait! I hope you actually take the time to read what I posted. It just boils down to faith....faith that we are loved by our Lord and Savior and that he knows best! We must accept “For my thoughts are not your thoughts , neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts”. Isaiah 55:8-9
