Firefighter sends you to burning vehicles in a fire truck. Press L and R together in the truck, drive to the wreck marked on your radar, and spray it with the hose by pressing A and B at the same time. Put the fire out before the timer ends to clear the level and earn a time bonus for the next one. You need 20 fires on each island, and they do not have to be in a row.
How it works
Find a fire truck and press the L and R buttons together to turn the job on. The game gives you a burning vehicle in a random neighborhood of the current island and a timer. A message reminds you to put out the burning vehicles.
Drive up close and hold A and B together to spray the hose. When the fire goes out, the level is complete and you are paid. The cash grows with each level in a row: the messages on screen show $100 for the first fire, $200 for the second and $300 for the third.
Rewards
For every 20 fires you put out on an island, a flamethrower pickup is delivered to your safehouse on that island. Check your safehouses after finishing each set. The flamethrower is also the weapon for two of the rampages in Portland and Shoreside Vale.
Tips
- Switch the job off with L and R when you stop. Your fire count is kept on the stats screen.
- Park so the hose has a clear line to the burning vehicle, then hold A and B until the fire is out.
- Do the three islands separately. Fires only count on the island you are on.
- Keep the truck out of fights. A wanted level costs you time you do not have.
