It is not possible, except in Jet Set Willy II.

However, there are a couple of ways to simulate being able to jump
over a Fire-cell at head-height:

1. Use an invisible ramp that the player has to stand at the bottom
of:

.....*.....
..../*\....
|||||||||||
(e.g. Jet Set Willy: The Lord of the Rings: "The Road to Isengard")

2. Use a stationary guardian, as I did in Party Willy's "Guarden".
