Discover over 40 diverse deployment locations and complete exciting missions that span a 15k acres large townscape inspired by the North American Westcoast.

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!
