In Firefighting Simulator - The Squad you form a team of firefighters with up to 3 other players or AI colleagues and cooperate to fight different kinds of realistic fires in a large US city.

In Firefighting Simulator – The Squad the players slip into the role of a US firefighter in order to join up with friends or AI-controlled team members to tackle gripping firefighting missions and face numerous, varied challenges, to save lives.

During firefighting operations, it is all about team play, since this is the only way to master the numerous dangers. Firefighting Simulator – The Squad provides a realistic representation of dynamically spreading fire including water, smoke, heat, backdrafts, flashovers, grease fires as well as a number of other causes of fire such as electronics, chemicals and explosions. Regardless if the team is called to attend minor fire situations or large-scale operations, e.g. a burning factory - in Firefighting Simulator – The Squad, utmost caution is always required and the team must be coordinated as efficiently as possible in order to get the fire under control and rescue any people that may still be trapped in it.

In addition to the realistic fire system, players can also be looking forward to operate officially licensed firefighting vehicles of the popular brand Rosenbauer America – such as the TP3 Pumper® or the T-Rex Articulating Platform in Firefighting Simulator – The Squad. For even more realism there is also a number of officially licensed firefighter equipment such as boots, tools and the iconic firefighter helmets known from US fire departments.
