Firefighter





The Firefighter career is a career track in The Sims 3: Ambitions. Firefighters work at the Fire Station lot.

Athleticism and Handy skills are useful in this career. In-depth tasks include maintaining both the station's alarm system and fire truck, but when the bell goes, it means dropping everything and racing to the site of the emergency which might be a small fire, gnome invasion, massive inferno, earthquake, or an experiment gone catastrophically wrong at the science lab. Firefighters are given a letter grade (A through F) based on how well they handle an emergency. During a fire, doors must be broken down with an axe. A sim with higher athleticism can break down a door faster. Victims trapped inside will remain in one place panicing untill they are rescued or die. Once a firefighter has reached a victim, they must use the "Convince to Run" interaction to get them to leave the building. Babies, toddlers, and children must be carried out by the firefighter as they are too scared to run on their own.

The appearance of the firefighter uniform in the trailer and screenshots appears drastically different than the one on the game cover and those seen in the base game. The clothes seen in earlier trailers are possibly promotion of mock ups. Earthquakes only appear when a sim in the family has the Firefighter career.
