About the Game



You're a rookie firefighter battling blazes around town... the perfect cover to steal valuable loot.

  • Use a variety of water sources to tackle the fire, with limited water and hose lengths.
  • Rescue citizens trapped by the fire.
  • Attempt to steal special items on each map without letting the fire get out of control.
  • Purposely spread the fire to distract and destroy.
  • Avoid police and other firefighters as you escape with the loot.

Bring On The Water



  • Grab a hose from any fire truck or fire hydrant.
  • Watch you don't wrap your hose around too many objects or the hose will feel a lot shorter than it is.
  • Vary your water pressure to arc the stream over objects.
  • Choose when to use precious water and when to let things burn.

Flame or Fortune?



  • Each level has five objects to steal and sell.
  • Some loot can only be reached by first burning objects in the way.
  • You have no pockets. Just two hands and room on your back.
  • Heavy loot will remove your ability to jump over obstacles.

Hero and Villain



  • Once loot is stolen all police and firefighters will be hostile until you can sell it.
  • The fire can be harnessed to create distractions and burn a path out of danger.
