Players are challenged to keep their cool as they manage a squad of elite fire fighters in a variety of fast-paced, unpredictable, and explosive emergency scenarios. Fire chiefs command fire squads and vehicles to extinguish flames and save victims in five single player campaigns with increasingly complex missions based on real-life events. Set in a metropolitan city along the U.S. west coast, players face the challenging perils of human-caused and natural disasters. Tackle windswept brush fires that threaten a hillside of suburban homes and the forest just beyond. Use special extinguishing agents and techniques to battle chemical fires in manufacturing plants and at a fireworks factory; stay on track as a runaway train leaves a trail of emergencies; and save victims and battle blazes downtown after the 'Big One' rattles the city.

    To damn it with faint praise, this is the world's greatest fire-fighting RTS. [May 2005, p.99]

    Definitely one for gamers with a lot of patience and determination, but it's certainly refreshingly different enough to keep you hooked for a while - if you can get past the unfriendly difficulty curve and often frustrating gameplay that leads to replaying the same level over and over until you finally get it right.

    Excellent game. I used to be a firefighter, and it's VERY realistic. The game could have more intuitive commands, such as placing a Excellent game. I used to be a firefighter, and it's VERY realistic. The game could have more intuitive commands, such as placing a portable cannon next to exposed structures and having it automatically put a water curtain on the building in the most danger. Also, there are too many specialized units. Firefighters are trained to make forcible entry into a building if necessary, so why would we send in an extrication specialist to cut open a fence? They're trained to open wrecked cars, not cut chain link fence. Overall, if you want to see the world of firefighting, I would recommend this game, I'm going to contact my old captain and recommend it as a training exercise. Expand

    I think it is a great tool for fighters and should be used in all training schools. I am a firefighter from New Zealand and highly rate it.

    It is a good game but it has so-so graphics and very basic gameplay.
