I haven't played a Fire troller, so I can't say for certain, but I believe all controller pets stick around until you zone, unless dismissed or defeated.
Yes they are targetable, I've occasionally (when teamed with a fire/*) hit them with bubbles from my Earth/FF.

Hey all,
Ok, before I go on, I should point out that I haven't gotten my Fire/Therm to 32 yet so I don't know how the power works.
My question is, when I bring up FireImps, I know I get three of them, do they expire? or are they there until they die (or I zone)?

They will last until they get killed or you zone. They WILL get their hyperactive ADD selves killed on a regular basis however so you'll probably find a recharge to be handy to slot into them. My default slotting for most pets is the Acc/Dam and Dam IO's from Brilliant Leadership and Blood Mandate; that ED caps damage and gives decent accuracy in 4 slots... for the Imps I toss a common recharge into a 5th slot. If I could find the space (my Fire/Rad is too slot hungry) I'd add a 6th slot and put 2 recharges in.

But my other question is, can I target them somehow (like MM's can their minions) or will I have to click on each one and buff?

You can buff them just like you'd buff another player, the only exception is that NO pets are affected by any recharge buffs or debuffs (like speed boost). However your thermal shields will work just fine, and they'll certainly increase the monkey's longevity.

Just to be clear, only the +recharge portion of the speed boost power will not work on the pets. The movement bonus and end recovery still function.

Correct, I guess I was a bit ambiguous about that. Of course, since it's the recharge portion that's most useful...

They live until you zone or they die. They have an infinate duration.

You can target them just the same as MM henchmen, buffing them with single target buffs or if you group them around you, buff them with PBAE buffs. Thermals PBAE heal and resist buffs helps keep the imps alive.
