Take the role of a firefighter responding to emergencies across districts of a fictional US city. The game is structured around individual deployments rather than a continuous story.
Drive an engine to the scene, prepare hoses and equipment, handle access obstacles, and search for civilians to rescue. Fire types and hazards call for different responses, including dealing with electrical risks and fires that need more than water.
Fires can spread and interact with conditions such as smoke and heat. Play alone as the crew leader, assigning tasks to AI teammates, or work with up to three friends in co-op. Missions award scores and levels as you progress through the calls.
Players who enjoy the game often point to co-op as a highlight, along with the satisfaction of handling firefighting tasks and the atmosphere created by the fire and smoke effects. Some also like coordinating a crew and responding to different fire hazards. Other reviews describe solo play as frustrating because of unreliable AI, and several say the mission routine grows repetitive; reports of bugs and technical problems also appear.
Firefighting Simulator lets you experience what it means to fight fires up close as an active part of a major US city's firefighting team. Discover over 40 diverse deployment locations and complete exciting missions that span a 15k acres large townscape inspired by the North American Westcoast. Operate faithfully reproduced Rosenbauer America fire trucks, extinguish fires, and rescue civilians in need – together with up to three friends in the co-op multiplayer or with the help of AI team members in the single player mode.
Also at your disposal is authentic firefighting gear such as helmets, firefighter boots, and a breathing apparatus model by well-known North American firefighting equipment manufacturers.
Fire alert incoming!! What are you waiting for? Every minute counts! Pull on your boots, start the engine of your fire truck, turn on the lights and siren, and take the shortest route to the deployment location to fight the fire and save lives.
Whether in the industrial area, the suburbs, or downtown: Your city needs you!
The multiplayer co-op mode allows you to play in a team with up to three friends to save lives and, of course, fight fires. Within the team you are free to assume whichever role that suits you most.
In single player mode, you will experience up close what it means to fight fires in a major US city as the leader of an experienced firefighting team. Thanks to the intuitive command UI, you take control of assigning tasks to your AI colleagues and jump right into the thick of the action yourself.
Advanced fire simulation, including water, smoke, heat, back drafts, flashovers, grease fires, and a wide range of other causes of fires, such as electronics, chemicals, and explosions.
A complex physics system ensures the realistic representation of the destruction caused by dynamically spreading fire.
Drive five licensed Rosenbauer America fire trucks, such as the TP3® Pumper, or the T-Rex® hydraulic platform through a large US city – also in cockpit view.
