About Firefighting Simulator – The Squad

In exciting missions, the team members are proceeding to action with authentic firefighter equipment and a selection of 5 officially licensed firefighting vehicles by Rosenbauer America – such as the TP3 Pumper® and the T-Rex® Articulating Platform - to extinguish fires and save people from the flames. While single players take control of their AI-controlled colleagues with the help of the intuitive command interface in order to give them instructions on how to proceed, in cooperative multiplayer mode up to four players can take action together as a team to prove their team spirit and skills in the field of firefighting. Thanks to the advanced fire simulation - including water, smoke, heat, backdrafts, flashovers, grease fires as well as a number of other causes of fire such as electronics, chemicals and explosions – the firefighter team will have to face hard to calculate fire situations and dangers. Next to this, players can look forward to a complex physics system for the representation of destruction within dynamically spreading fire situations.

Features:

  • Multiplayer with up to 4 players

  • Authentic firefighter equipment by well-known manufacturers – e.g. Cairns®, MSA G1® SCBA, Leatherhead Tools® and HAIX®.

  • Officially licensed firefighting vehicles by Rosenbauer America

  • Comprehensive training which introduces players to the basics

  • Advanced fire simulation & physics system
