Be very careful doing this, a friend of mine did this and cracked and ruined two nice pans we had found in a barn. He got them red hot and took them out of the fire and sprayed them with water to cool them quickly (stupid). Leave them in the fire until it burns out and let them cool gradually. They will come out like new and will need to be seasoned again.
I got a griddle too hot, not red hot but close, and pulled it off the burner and it cracked. The advice to leave it on the fire and let it cool slowly is very good advice.
