What’s in it
- Seven aircraft in nine setups. The CH-47 Chinook with a tank or a bucket, the S-64 Skycrane, the UH-60 Black Hawk with a tank or a bucket, the UH-1H Huey, the CL-415 Super Scooper, the AT-802F Fire Boss and the C-130H Hercules.
- A valley to protect: a town, cabins in the woods, lakes, creeks and mountain tarns, and fires that spread with fuel, slope and wind.
- A guided Training Fire, five graded fires, the Daily Fire and Free Play.
- Progress: stars, pilot ranks, a logbook and paint schemes, saved in your browser with a backup code.
Why it exists
It was made by someone who works in aerial firefighting and wanted a simple, fun game that flies the aircraft seen working fires: realistic about how the water comes out and how each aircraft refills, and quick to pick up.
What’s next
- Phones and tablets. iPhone and Android versions with touch controls are planned. Sign up for one email when they’re ready.
