In the early days of fire fighting, fire fighters were provided with buckets and together they grouped in brigades to extinguish fires that threatened the life, property and environment of those that lived in that era.

Today, modern fire fighting has improved dramatically with the development of new methods and technology, but it still takes an individual with great dedication, determination and bravery to accomplish the many jobs of a fire fighter.

So, the one question I must ask you before you begin this game is... Are you ready to take command?

1. OBJECT
To become the fire department with the most districts by using and collecting the necessary equipment to complete Fire Calls. The fire department with the most occupied districts once all the districts are covered wins.

From the Patent Application (10/783939):
"Players navigate the board picking up fire equipment along the way which are used to answer fire calls. Players who successfully answer a fire call obtain a district. The goal of the game is to obtain the most districts. Players can change ranks from lowest (Firefighter) to highest (Fire Chief) where fire calls are more easily answered by those players of higher rank. Players also may enter the hospital, have their equipment sent to the garage and experience other positive and negative results as the game progresses based on the squares on which they land and the cards which they draw."
