hi and welcome to the game...
blasters are the most fragile of all the archetypes, you have to use your DPS to kill quickly the mobs before they reach you, and/or use your powers from the secondary for mitigation. Laters on in higher levels and when you will discover the profits of invention system , you will be able to make a blaster more (or a lot) durable...
Also i have a feeling that you are playing Praetoria, where the mobs are a bit tough for low level toons (especially for new players)
My advices would be theese :
1. Lower your difficulty settings to -1, and raise them again when you will feel more confident
2. Reroll your blaster as a hero in Paragon City, where things are a bit more easier in low levels
3. roll a scrapper or a brute.. those archetypes are more easy to play for new players

You can adjust difficulty
Welcome to the game and the boards. Fire/Fire blasters are some of the highest damaging blasters in the game (depending on who you ask). But as is true will all blasters, the mindset of how you play them is the key. The idea is to do as much damage to them as quickly as possible and run if you need to. It is a "good offense" thing. There are a few good Blaster Guides in the guide section to get you started. Have fun and welcome.
And yes, to adjust your difficulty, find a contact called Hero Corps Field Analyst. They will tweak your difficulty settings.

Blasters die. Frequently. I have my own key to the city morgue. Learn to run when you lose control of the battle. If you aren't in control, you're dead.
This guide in particular is a blaster must read.

The fact that you're looking for help here is a good sign. I died so much on my first Blaster that I almost quit the game before reading the Forums.
Learn how to Pull (attracting the attention of 1-2 bad guys away from the herd). If you can whittle down a larger herd of bad guys it makes it easier.
Team with at least 1 other person. It's amazing how 1 other person, even another Blaster, makes life easier.
Stress Accuracy, Recharge and Damage in your slots. With free Fitness End is not as much of a concern early on. As you get the bigger Powers you can begin slotting for it then.
Bring friends to the game to team with or search for a Supergroup to join and team with. Many SGs have experienced players willing to help.
Good luck and welcome to the nightmare!
