About this game

Rush into a burning building as a team of firefighters, rescuing victims before the structure collapses. Each turn you spend action points to move, fight fires, chop through walls, or carry people to safety, while the fire spreads unpredictably after every turn. The basic game teaches in minutes; the expert variant adds flashover, hazmat, and difficulty scaling from novice to heroic. A double-sided board with two building layouts and multiple expansion maps keep the challenge fresh.
