Sally sadly this will be an on going thing unless you protect your fig tree overwinter. In your area figs in ground they should be wrapped. It's going to put all it's energy into new growth and try to set a crop but that new growth will be tender going into winter and there's a good chance it will die back again this winter if left unprotected unless you get a super mild winter. I'm also sad to say your figs probably won't ripen up this year if they are just now coming on the tree. Figs need high temps to ripen properly and once temps get in the 70's the ripening process slows to a creep. If you want a tree outside and don't feel like winterizing it a good option for you would be "hardy Chicago" it can freeze to the ground and still give you ripe figs by the first frost. Atreano is another good option but isn't as sweet and tasty as HC.
