How long should a wooden construct burn (and continue to take damage) until it burns out (and stops doing damage)

My players encountered some wooden golems, which are vulnerable to fire damage. One of the players casts a Fire Bolt spell, the description of which says "A flammable object hit by this spell ignites if it isn't being worn or carried." So the next question is, after a wooden golem is hit twice with a fire bolt, how long should the thing continue to take damage due to being on fire?

I know the default answer is — whatever the DM wants it to be, but I'm taking the temperature of this community (pun intended). My first impulse is to say 1d6 rounds. Does anyone have a more compelling idea?
