How it works
Fires that fight back
Fires start on their own, spread and relight. Fuel fires want foam, electrical fires want the power isolated first, and knocked down is not out: keep water on a smouldering fire or it comes back.
More than fires
Alarm activations to clear, vehicle rescues to cut people out of, and fire safety inspections of the city's businesses. A second alarm brings Police and Ambulance to stand by.
