⚙️ Lab

- Watch out: entering the second firetruck too quickly may cause a softlock.

- As soon as the east tower goes up in flames, you can spray the water tower above it to extinguish most of the fire.

- Once inside the lab, before you can call for the trapped woman to learn which elevator she is in, you have enough time to open one of them for a 1/6 chance to free her early. (One of the few sources of randomness)

- Lab skip: once on the second floor, there is a gas jet which turns on and off repeatedly. Go through when it's off to find a trapped man. As soon as the gas jet turns back on, talk to the man, then rush back through the jet (which should be off if timed correctly) and run against a wooden beam on the ground. There will be an explosion and the beam will disappear, allowing you to continue the mission without rescuing the man.

- (As you carry the final scientist out of the building, you pass an invisible wall which causes Match to start talking. You can move back and forth across this wall, causing Match to repeat himself. Although amusing, don't do it during a run, because the level won't end until he finishes his line.)

🌇 Skyrise

- Watch out: After rescuing Match and putting out the hallway fires, there's a small chance that Cameron will never arrive with the spreaders. You can see this happen at 0:40:45 in my 100% video. Notice that the doors can be opened and closed when this happens. I don't know what causes this softlock; you'll just have to restart the checkpoint if it happens.

- When you first find the news reporters, you have to go around to turn off a gas jet before coming back to them. By this time, fires in the studio have spread all over the place. When you reach the reporters, once it says "checkpoint saved", reset to the last checkpoint. This will reset all the fire which makes it way easier to rescue the reporters and less likely to accidentally die. As a bonus for 100% runs, this makes getting the newswoman's award and the FCD much easier too.

- The fire coming out of the skylight can be sprayed from the helipad. This prevents fireballs from reaching you and streamlines the fight.

🌉 Bridge

- If you don't put out all the fire on the ground while rescuing the mom and son, it will spread back, which can be inconvenient for you later.

- When cooling off the beams to let Cameron and the trucker cross, any time the beams glow orange will cause the two to slow down. Learning the timing of the gas jets will help you keep them going fast. Btw, start by spraying the left gas jet.

- The last part is a lot less dangerous than it looks. You may get hurt by the explosions, but it's usually not enough to kill you. No need to stress!

🌟 General Advice

- This game has very little randomness. Play the game repeatedly to learn what happens at each moment. Try doing things a bit differently at each event to see what causes what. Anticipating the game is insanely helpful for speedrunning it.

- Play close attention to each type of spray: stream nozzle, fog nozzle, (extinguisher), firetruck. Notice for each spray how wide of an area fires can be put out, how long it takes to put them out, and which distances they work best. Generally, it's fastest to run up close to many fires and spray the fog nozzle to put them all out. It helps to circle around the area a bit to prevent stragglers. Again, learn how long it takes to put out fire so you don't move on too quickly.

- Only extinguish fires when necessary! If you need to cool yourself down, or a character can't be pushed through the fire (or is too slow when being pushed), or the level explicitly requires it, put them out. Otherwise, it's usually faster just to go straight through and ignore it.

- Find a good balance between speed and thoroughness when extinguishing fire. Slower means less likely to miss any stray fires, but at the cost of time. Different situations need different levels of thoroughness. If the fire's out in the open, it'll be harder to miss, so go a little faster. If you're afraid you'll miss one, take your time. Waiting for a small fire to become big enough to see kills your time. Again, be aware of which spray is best in each situation!

- Anticipate things that need to be chopped. When walking towards collapsed beams, locked wooden doors, etc., time your first swing so it lands right when you reach the object.

- There are many times where you have to wait for something. There's usually stuff you can do while waiting, which can save time. For example, if you're waiting on dialogue, why not get FCDs or put out fires? Get efficient!

🏘️ Suburbs

- (When you rescue the guy playing video games, if you spray his tv, he gets bummed out XD)

- There's a house with a gas jet where you have to put out all the fires. Turn off that jet first. A helicopter will put out a lot of fire in the middle of the yard, so preemptively focus on the fires it won't reach.

- In the final house, there are fires around electricity which are meant to be put out with an extinguisher. However, it can be faster to just spray the stream nozzle near this fire. If aimed well, you won't be electrocuted while still putting out the fire.

🏛️ Museum

- This mission has the most proper firefighting sections which can make it tedious. I really want to emphasize the importance of the general advice guide. Given how many little fires can be missed, I recommend being more thorough than usual in this mission.

- After putting out the art room, you and Match go to two Egyptian rooms on fire. It's faster to put out the second room first because the fires are small and Match will keep the first room's fires under control. Then go back to put out the first room before re-entering the second. There will only be a small amount of fire to extinguish there.

- The man who played with fireworks cannot be pushed to the exit. Just put out all the fire in his path. Because of his slow pace you can afford to be more thorough.

- Watch out: putting out all the fires in the pharohs' tomb before the man leaves causes a softlock. Try to finish just after he leaves.

- Dinosaur skip: Put out all of the fires in the planetarium. Run through the space room, ignoring all the fires, and get into the position shown in the drawing below (also seen at 1:03:20 in my 100% video). This will be more reliable if you spend a little extra time making sure you've got the right angle. Run through the space hall in a straight line towards the FCD. If successful you should clip through the collapsing dinosaur (it may feel like you missed it at first, but keep running until you pass through). On the other side, some fire will disappear, then just put out the small fires in the prehistoric room. Once it says "checkpoint saved", restart at the nearest checkpoint (this prevents a softlock). You'll have skipped the space room and most of the prehistoric room, and be right before the sun fight.

- Before fighting the Sun, stand behind the pillar next to the gift shop. This lets you spray the sun while avoiding its fireballs. It also keeps the fireballs from going all over the place, meaning less fire to put out!

🏭 Factory

- For 100% runs, you need to get the axe near the vats. The intended way is to turn the vats off and backtrack. However, if timed correctly, you can get the axe while the vats are down and leave before they open back up, skipping all the backtracking.

- After the vats, the intended route has you turn off a gas line, turn off the vats, make it through the gas jets upstairs, and turn those off. You can save a lot of time by doing the following. After the vats, go to the area with exploding barrels, wait for the ceiling gas jet to stop, then sprint past the gas tank to the stairs. Turn off the vats. Upstairs, the gas jets won't be happening yet so rush through and turn them off anyway.

- After putting out office fires with Ezzy in the warehouse, you're meant to wait for a barrier to explode before you can go up a ladder. However, you can just barely reach the ladder behind the barrier before it has exploded.

🐲 Park

- After saving the overpass, go to help the woman stuck in the hole first. While she's climbing out, clear the path of fire so they can escape quickly. Pushing them through can help too.

- You can skip saving the girl at the restaurant. Proceed to the candy shop and push the register out so that the boy can escape, then restart at the last checkpoint. This saves a little bit of time.

- The entire haunted coaster section can be done without using a hose.

- Watch out: once you rescue the kids from a cart at the beginning of the dragon ride, another cart will slam into the back of it. You will die if it runs into you.

- Here's the fastest way to save everyone at the dragon fight: free everyone from the carts first, then focus on the people further back and put out the fires to escort everyone to the exit. There are too many people to push so just focus on the fires in their path. If done quickly, the fires will be small and easy to extinguish.

- The safest place to fight the dragon is on each side. The most helpful thing during this fight is to lead your shots where the dragon's mouth will be.

🛍️ Mall

- When the mission starts, before you enter the security room, there is a bathroom with a collapsed elderly woman. Reviving her now will save time compared to reviving her at the end of the mission, since you won't have to guide her through any fire.

- In the sporting goods store, there's smoke in the corner which plays a 5 second cutscene if you look at it. Don't look at it. After going up the ladder, look down before moving towards the smoke to continue not looking at it.

- The woman in the dressing room cannot be pushed to the exit. Just put out all the fire in her path. Because of her slow pace you can afford to be more thorough.

- The best order to save people in the theater seems to be: film reel guy, theater 3 man, theater 2 family. Put out all the fire in theater 3 since they're so small, that way the man can exit on his own while you continue to theater 2. Talk to the girl for at least 1 second before going to save the boy and mom, to avoid a softlock. The boy will follow you through fire and the girl can be pushed easily through fire.

- For 100% runs, skip the 3rd FCD and proceed to the pet store. Wait until Ezzy has rescued the third dog, then go back to turn off the electricity and get the FCD in the arcade. While you do this, Ezzy rescues the forth dog and Match calls for help, so no time is wasted. Make sure Ezzy's path is clear of fire.

Injured Person Pick Up-Toss Find

Basically, by picking up an injured person and tossing them to the floor, you can go faster by going to a certain area, pick them up and repeat. By doing this, this can save you a few seconds. This video does it pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOnWAwo-6Qc

🧯 Training

- Quick reminder that this mission is NOT required in the any% run.

- There are lot of text pop-ups in this mission. Learn when they happen, and how many there are in a row, so that you can skip them faster.
