DESCRIPTION

Fire Department presents players with the real-life dilemmas of fire fighters and fire departments. With limited resources, very real dangers, and trapped people who must be saved in a few scant minutes, firefighters have their work cut out for them. Players will tackle ten missions including explosions, a petrochemical refinery, a railroad accident, and a warehouse fire. Six firefighting jobs — basic, nurse, protective clothing specialist, engineer, commando, and obstacle specialist — offer a variety of gameplay experiences. Players must make decisions, sometimes rushing in, but sometimes containing and waiting for specialists. Performances are evaluated from mission to mission, with captains receiving rewards for outstanding performances and detailed memorials for firefighters who don't survive the inferno. Firefighting vehicles include the massive Aerial, the Pumper, the mini-Pumper, the Water Tower, the Tanker, the Medic Master, and the Wildland Xtreme (a bulldozer). ~ All Game Guide
