No One Left Behind – The Rescue Trailer is live!

[p][/p][h3]Attention all heroes![/h3][p]We’re proud to reveal the next big beat for Firefighting Simulator: Ignite – our brand-new Rescue Trailer just premiered during the Games Forged in Germany Showcase![/p][p]This intense, atmospheric trailer dives into the heart of what matters most on every callout: saving lives.[/p][p]Set during a high-stakes nightclub mission filled with hazards, limited visibility, and numerous victims, this trailer plunges you right into the heart-pounding urgency of a real rescue mission.
[/p][h3]📺 Watch the trailer here:[/h3][h3][/h3][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]The dispatch call says it all: You need to be fast, you need to be efficient, and you need to be at your best.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🚑 No One Left Behind.[/h3][p]In Firefighting Simulator: Ignite, victim rescue is always the highest priority. Fires can trap civilians quickly, and heavy smoke can make it nearly impossible to see. As a firefighter, it’s your duty to locate, guide, and carry every person to safety.[/p][p]Victims can be found in different states: Conscious and unconscious. Sometimes, the only way to locate victims is by listening closely – shouts or coughing might be all you have to go on.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🧭 Guide the Way to Safety.[/h3][p]Once located, conscious victims need to be lead to safety. You’re not just fighting fire – you’re guiding people through one of the most dangerous moments of their lives.[/p][p]Unconscious victims are more vulnerable. Pick them up and carry them through smoke-filled corridors, down ladders, or through broken windows – whatever it takes to get them to the designated rescue area, where medics take over.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🪜 Up the Ladder.[/h3][p]Some rescues can’t be done from the ground. Use vehicles with aerial ladders and platforms to reach victims in upper floors or balconies. The platforms can carry up to three people at once: one firefighter, one conscious victim following, and one unconscious victim being carried.[/p][p]It might be a tight fit, but it can make all the difference in a rescue under pressure.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🧑‍🚒 Your Mission isn’t over until Everyone’s out.[/h3][p]Every mission in Firefighting Simulator: Ignite has one goal above all: rescue every victim. Whether it’s through thick smoke, collapsing structures, or rising flames, you and your squad must search every room and clear the building.
[/p][p]Only when every life has been accounted for can the mission be completed.

Bring your Squad – the Co-op Gameplay Reveal Trailer is live!

[p] Attention all heroes!

The wait is over – our brand-new Co-op Gameplay Reveal Trailer just dropped during the Future Games Show Summer Showcase! 🔥

Catch your first look at co-op firefighting in action right here:

[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]


[/p][h3]🤝 Squad Goals.[/h3][p]
Whether you’re gearing up for a mission callout with up to four players online, or heading in supported by NPC squadmates, teamwork is at the heart of every operation. Your squad will strategically deploy tools and interact dynamically with the environment to fight fires efficiently. Every callout brings fresh challenges that demand adaptability and problem-solving skills.

With full crossplay support, crews from any platform can join forces, while the built-in voice chat ensures smooth coordination and precise task division.



[/p][h3]🏠 Lobby up at the Fire Station.[/h3][p]
It all starts at the Oakridge City Fire Station – your mission hub where you’ll hang out, squad up, and hop into your fire truck of choice to reach the incident scene.

Choose your mission and get ready to roll – when the alarm sounds, every second counts.




[/p][h3]🔥 Enter the Scene.[/h3][p]
Respond to emergencies in officially licensed Rosenbauer America vehicles, and work together to rescue civilians, manage hazards, and stop the spread of fire using advanced firefighting tactics.

Sometimes, you'll need to gain access by force. Locked doors, windows, and walls can be breached using tools like axes, Halligan bars, or circular saws. Saws will also come in handy as ventilation tools: cut holes in ceilings or garage walls to release dangerous smoke buildup.



[/p][h3]🚑 No one left behind.[/h3][p]
Saving lives is your top priority. Communicate with your squad, assess the situation, and keep an eye out for civilians in need. Vehicles with aerials, like ladders or platforms, are essential for reaching victims in hard-to-access places.

Once you’ve found someone, escort them to safety – there’s always an ambulance on site, ready to assist and treat the injured.



[/p][h3]💦 UNITED AGAINST FIRE.[/h3][p]
Just as critical as saving lives is fighting the fire itself. Use the right extinguishing agents to handle a variety of scenarios – ordinary fires, grease fires, liquid fires, gas fires, and electrical fires all require different approaches. Choose wisely, act fast, and save the day.



[/p][h3]🎙️ Call the Shots.[/h3][p]
Going solo with an NPC crew? No problem. Use intuitive squad commands to direct your NPC teammates: assign general tasks like “extinguish fires” or “search and rescue,” or use context-sensitive commands to target specific hazards in the scene.

NPC firefighters will do their best to follow your lead and will notify you if they encounter obstacles – like lacking the proper tool for the job.
