Description

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.

  • Use authentic equipment by well-known US firefighting industry brands, such as Cairns®, MSA G1® SCBA, and HAIX®.

  • Great replay value thanks to 40 different deployment locations, each offering several ways to beat the fires, both day and night.

  • Comprehensive tutorial, radio communications, and character recordings in English, as well as subtitles in several languages, and faithfully recreated engine sounds for an even denser atmosphere.

  • A detailed 15k acres large US city with different districts, such as an industrial area, suburbs, and downtown.

  • Supports standard steering wheels and gamepads

  • A comprehensive tutorial takes you through the basics of fighting fires.

This game used to be very good when I played it a year ago. Now it is just unplayable. The ai commands are missing the quench option meaning I can't get them to fight the fires. On some fires when you spray water it

Why would you release a follow up game instead of polishing this game? This game just still seems so unpolished. Played some other games of astragon like bus sim and police sim on ps5 and it is the same with those

This is another excellent and thrilling game. Does appear to be different to the other simulator that followed this one, but it's still just as fun. Does take a bit of getting use to with going about missions, but its

Apparently, there are only a couple of these firefighter games on the market that are worth it. I found this one on sale for just $3 or so. I thought it wouldn't be any better than the one that costs almost $20, but I

The game is quite fun with friends, but the AI is very clunky. I only recommend this game if you can play with a friend, but a full squad is much more fun. 6.8/10
