Product Description

Command elite fire squads and safety specialists in a variety of explosive, fast-paced and unpredictable real-life crisis situations. Critical split second decisions are required to tackle windswept bush fires that threaten a hillside of suburban homes. Draw upon special extinguishing agents and techniques to battle chemical fires in a fireworks factory. Hold the line as a runaway train leaves a trail of emergencies threatening a deathtrap inferno. Designed with the help of real fire fighters and a fire captain with over 20 years experience, these 3D real-time missions offer an accurate portrayal of the urgent life and death decisions they face. The degree of difficulty controlling the fires varies according to the accelerants involved, the proximity of buildings, what caused the fire and a host of other factors. While organizing your firefighting crew and vehicles, you must think strategically to minimize casualties and damage, by anticipating the dynamics of how the fire will spread.

This is everything in an RTS you would expect except one thing... THE UNEXPECTED!

There are no patterns to learn... this sim is not for the brain dead. You have to have your mind and eyes up and running throughout the scenarios. This is everything that the "Fighters-for-life" series isn't. Fantastic AI, great animations and intuitive charaters. This is more like a true Firefighting training simulator than a game. Graphics are very good, and well laid out.

You can set the behavoirs of the firefighters, including guard area against approaching fires, set them for "Heroic," meaning that when you need a hero, you can have one at the click of a mouse. And as important, you can call in extra units if you need them. Something the first game all but forgot.

You can't go wrong on this one. For those of us who love RTS fire/rescue sims, it's the best of the best.

This review is from: Firefighter Command: Raging Inferno (CD-ROM)

I am a volunteer firefighter for my community and when i ran the tutorial for this game i was amazed. I was amazed at the fact that the makers of this game were intuitive enough to include real fire behavior such as flashovers, backdrafts, radiant heat exposure, the different classes of fire, and so on. I was amazed mainly because any other firefighting sim I've played has left these elements out. In other firefighting sims the AI was also...well dumb as a box of rocks. In this game they are actually quite intelligent, relatively speaking. Rather than putting out the spot of fire you told them to and then standing there once they're done...they actually continue to put out the surrounding fire, and when you tell the firefighters to rescue a civilian they will automatically bring them to the nearest ambulance rather than stand there with the person on their shoulder until they are dead. Overall great game, lots of fun, and lots of thinking and stategizing involved. Much better than expected from a firefighting sim.

I have not played it yet but it looks awesome. I have this other game called emergency fire responce and it looks similar to it but much better. The lights flash on the trucks and more detailed. It Looks if so you get to use the hose alot more.
