What players say

really good game to play, some parts you need a little patience in regards to putting out fires which I would say that's where the game could be improved. (Having the option to change the attack nozzle from jet to a wider spray etc ) would be cool and probs improve to help put out the fires more quickly. not really anything bad to say its one of those games you get addicted too quickly and have lots of fun. 8/10
