UPDATE: Looks like some of those Firetrucks went rogue and are attempting to break out of the game and run back to the wild. Once they have hunted them down and recaptured them, they will be dragged back to the game for your enjoyment. 😉
(p.s. they are back, just restart your device.)
Hey there Tribblemakers!
We dropped a lil Teaser/Spoiler Image the other day to offer you a taste of just what was coming around the corner. Well, it’s now here. The Firefighters Event.
First things first… THIS EVENT ENDS MAY 27th 3PM PDT!!!
Now for the fun stuff. You will need to be in District 3 and have Al’s built in order to see this Firefighter’s Event.
GLITCH ALERT: It is a known issue they are already looking into, if you attempt to purchase something that requires Clams, but you do not have enough, it will crash the game instead of sending you to the Purchase Clams Screen. So be careful of that.
WARNING: Check your App Market, you MUST be up to date on the most current version of the app or you will NOT be able to proceed in this Event. You will run into issues until you Update in the App Market.
Keep refreshing this post over the next lil while. We will update all the details and specifics once we are able to verify them all live in the game.
Chris will kick it all off with some dialog.
MORE TO COME…

FIRE FIRE FIRE!!!
All around the game you will notice different kinds of Fire going on. In order to progress in the Event, you will need to get rid of the fire. Here are some of the ways…
BRUSH FIRES: These look almost like lil campires dropped around the edges of the Sidewalks around Quahog. Just tap on it to put it out. Pays out Fire Extinguishers for Chris’ Costume and Training Firefighters. If you can’t get them by tapping the bottoms, try tapping the smoke by the tops. These appear about 5 every 5 minutes for a MAX of 12 (at least in my town)
BUILDING FIRES: These are similar to the kind of Latcher Style. They look like a Fire Alarm Bell ringing continuously. You will need to clear them to release the building and get the award inside. To do this you will need to first Train your Firefighters. The one you will need to put it out will depend on what one is on the Building. More on it below as well. (These seem to appear every 3-4hrs, still checking on stats)
Fire Alarm Bell (Regular Firefighter battles)
WALKING FIRE CREATURES: These Flaming Creatures will be walking around your Quahog Sidewalks. You will need a lil higher level Firefighters to put these guys down. More on it below.
Angry Fire Creature, drops Fire Axe
(Fire Captain battles)
Extreme Fire Creature , drops Fire Chief Hats
(Fire Chief battles)
These appear after Fire in the Hole Pt. 7
Crazed Fire Creature, drops Jaws of Life
(Takes TWO Fire Captains battles)
MYSTERY BOXES
These will appear shortly after “Fire in the Hole Part 1”. Also, the items for them will NOT appear just yet to earn. So hang in there. They are coming. Only the Clam Building is in the game so far for Jaws of life, but it will NOT be required just to get these. There is also the Fire Chief for Clams attack on the Extreme Creatures that will drop Hats. Other options will come. 😉
You will notice something a lil odd about these Mystery Boxes… they are identical in Prizes. That is as intended. It is set up so YOU can decide which item you have extra of to use on either Mystery Box. So if you earn more of one than another, you can use that Material for the Mystery Box that accepts it.
Jaws of Life Mystery Box: Requires 6 Jaws of Life
Fire Chief Hat Mystery Box: Requires 6 Fire Chief Hats
Prizes for BOTH-
Quahog Fireboat
Hunka Burnin Love
Sexy Fireman
Forest Fire Copter
24K Gold Fire Hydrant
Cat Stuck in Tree
FIRE FIGHTING!!!
We will have a LOT more info on this in another post. I will try to provide enough details in the mean time to at least get you started on it.
In the start of the Event, you will be prompted to build two locations. The Firefighter Academy and the Burn Me Once Building. You will notice once the Burn Me Once is done, there is a fire alarm bell going off outside and the Building is on FIRE!
So how to put it out? Well you need Firefighters of course. Go to the Firefighter Academy once it is built and tap on it. You will see a pop up menu for the Firefighters.
There are a total of 5 Firepoles you can unlock to increase the Firefighters in town. You will need to Open each one to use them and the Firefighter options inside.
Firepole One: Opens when Academy is built
Firepole Two: Requires 20 Fire Extinguishers to Open
Firepole Three: Requires 10 Fire Axe to Open
Firepole Four: 150 Clams to Open
Firepole Five: 150 Clams to Open
Tap on the Open Firepole that says “Train” to start the process. In there you will see the different Firemen available.
FIRE POLE ONE~
Firefighter: Train Time 1hr, Puts out Fire Alarm Bell Fires.
Requires4 Fire Extinguishers
Fire Captain: Train Time 4hrs, Puts outs Angry Fire Creature Fires
Requires
2 Gas Cans
Fire Chief: One time 135 Clam cost to Unlock, Train Time 4hrs, Puts out Extreme Fire Creatures
Requires2 Gas Cans
Once you have enough Materials to start any of the Firefighters training, just tap on “TRAIN” to get them started on the times. You will see a timer on that Firepole to let you know when he will be ready to help.
Once he is ready, any tap on the fires he fights will show a pop up asking you to “Clear Building Fire”. It will tell you if the Firefighter is “READY” and what payout you will get. The Firefighter will run over and put it out than take a pole through the ground.
The fire will go out and you will get the Payout. The building will now be available for use again. You can only use the Firefighter ONCE, then you will need to collect Materials again for the next Building on fire.
There you have it. Another different twist to our gaming for the Firefighter Event. More details and information still to come as we keep playing it ourselves.
What do you think of it so far? Like the Buildings? Like the Decorations? Like that many items are ALWAYS drops? Let us know.

I have been trying to fish through all the posts and comments from the event but I haven’t found an answer to my question yet. My question is… With there being 2 mystery boxes you can open, when you get a prize from one box does it get removed from the other box also? I’m just trying to look into the future and figure out if I’m going to go for both boxes or just one of them. I have so much stuff already and not enough room. I don’t want double of everything. Thanks for everything you guys do on this site!!!

The two boxes are separate giving an option for Freemium and Premiums to go for them. I know they will not repeat within the Mystery Box itself. As far as removing item from both boxes, no. As they are two different ones.

Will gas cans continue to drop once you obtain the 20 needed for Chris? Or would the drops turn to coins? I noticed that the axes stopped dropping once I got the 17 needed. The reason I am asking is because I would like to know if I would still be able to train and have 3 captains ready before the start of the next phase. If the gas cans stop dropping, the best way would be to train 2 captains before obtaining the last can.

The Gas Cans should NOT stop as they are needed to continue to train. The only time an items stops is if it is not needed any longer in the game. That is not the case with Gas Cans.

G’day Bunny. I need your advice! Do I unlock the third firefighters pole or firefighter Chris first? The fire axes are slow to accumulate. So what actions does Chris offer? The third pole should increase the drop rate by having more firefighters therefore seems to be the best option. Desperately waiting your advice.

Does Chris help with the fires or beasts? I would accept a time to clear for him as the firefighters and Captains are one shot use. So if it takes Chris 1 hour to clear a building fire and 4 hours for a yellow beast. If he does nothing with the fires, why have the skin?

Does anyone know the spawn rate for the building fires? I usually see a max of 3 which isn’t enough for me to train two Firefighters every hour, but knowing how often they spawn would help. So I have to train one Captain though I have enough axes for Chris’ skin.
Would you open another firepole first or get his skin? I think I’d like to get his skin first so I can make sure to finish the storyline. I’m less interested in decorations and buildings. It’s the storyline quests that I love.

Firey Tempers Center, in the inventory it says “always drops”, click the “i” and it says “uncommon”, discription above says “chance”. So which one is it? No spending clams for a premium building with a 24 hour timer for a “chance” drop, which we all know is a very, very, very, very RARE chance. The last time I bought one at the beginning of an event and it dropped 2 items through out the entire event.
Any Premium Building should be an “always” drop.

Since we are on the firefighter event i figured now is a good as time as any to bring up a interesting question… On the Quahog Fire Station No.5 there is a flag out front, for one it doesn’t wave like the one at James Woods High so i know the flags in the game can wave and why isn’t the one in front of the firehouse at half mass? Tiny co could lower the flag to pay homage to the fallen firefighters that have lost their lives just doing what they do. Same could be said for the flag on the Police station although its a tiny flag without a long pole it could still wave. I address this not for an argument or a way to get anyone upset just something i have often wondered about.
LikeLike
Honestly… it depends in how it was created/coded for the game. Some items have animation built in. Some don’t. Every bit of animation added to the game is more memory needed and a drain on players devices. So too much could be risky for game stability.
That being said, regardless as to the why, feel free to message them and let them know your thoughts on what you’d like to see.
As to the fireman, do you mean in General? Or this event? I ask due to in this event they slide away Through a portal.
LikeLike
Although some buildings (& decos especially) are animated just for the hell of it, in most cases building animations are basically substitute animations for outdoor tasks – they show when there’s a task going on inside that building. Look at the swings and roundabout in the playground when Meg’s making bird noises or Mr Weed’s haunting the picnic. Ambulance lights flashing when Dr Hartman’s in the hospital. People drinking in the Clam, or wandering round the Stop n Shop or the schools, the library, the pharmacy, McBurgertown, the lighthouse etc when someone’s inside. The houses – the garage door when Joe or Bonnie is home, Quaqmire getting giggity in the window, Herbert perving through the window, Brian’s Prius/Chris watching something… but there are no indoor tasks set in the fire station (someone will correct me here if I’m wrong) so it was never intended to be animated.
As for lowering the flag to half mast – I just don’t think this game is the right place. Much respect for the emergency services and the jobs that they do but you could argue that the flags at the schools should be lowered for the teachers and students killed in shooting incidents, or the prison flag should come down for the prison officers killed, stick a flag on the CIA HQ and lower it for fallen agents, maybe one on the bank for the cashiers and bystanders killed during robberies just doing what they do. Convenience stores too. If we flew flags at half mast on every memorial day or significant anniversary to commemorate fallen heroes then no flag would ever be flown full mast again. Flagpoles would only need to be half as long! 🙂 By all means lower the flags if there’s a national day for that but this game is for fun, not for paying homage to the fallen, so for the rest of the year let the flags fly high and celebrate the ones who come home at the end of the day… and lap up any free clams that come along 😉
