Fire Department Demo - Posted by CaliGirl Mon June 30
Monte Cristo has released the demo of Fire Department. Become a hero in this new strategy game that allows players to fire it up to get in on the excitement of blazing fires and terrifying rescue missions. Control entire teams of firefighters who are busy trying to save the world and use strategy and management skills to put the flames out.

Fire Department lets you bring in fighters depending on the size of the fire and the number of people that need rescuing, call for specialists if things get out of hand, and choose from a large number of vehicles including Aerials, Water Towers, Pumpers, Tankers and even Air Tankers. Overcome obstacles in the heat of battle and find the best points of entry to tackle the flames. Medals are awarded according to team performance, number of people saved and the amount of resources used, and only the best men get out alive.
