[[File:Firefighter career icon.png|left]]The '''Firefighter''' occupation is a [[profession]] in ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]''. Firefighters work at the [[Fire Station]] [[lot]].

 

[[Athletic]]ism and [[handiness]] are useful in this profession.<ref name="ep2_blog_apr23">[http://www.thesims3.com/ambitionsblog2 The Sims Ambitions blog - Anybody Can Be a Hero ... or Something Along Those Lines]</ref> In-depth tasks include upgrading and maintaining both the station's alarm system and [[The Woo Woo 4000|fire truck]] as well as socializing with fellow co-workers. The [[Fire Station]] is a robust lot that can fulfill all your Sim's needs and provide skill training when on standby, but when the fire alarm goes off, it means dropping everything and racing to the site of the emergency which might be a small house [[fire]], large house fire, gnome invasion, [[earthquake]], or [[rabbit hole]] based emergencies such as an experiment gone catastrophically wrong at the [[science lab]].<ref name="ep2_blog_apr23"/> Firefighters are given a letter grade (A through F) based on how quickly they are able to deal with an emergency. [[Handy]] Sims can upgrade the fire alarm to respond sooner to emergencies, upgrade the fire truck in 3 increments to increase its speed, and upgrade their personal fire extinguisher to put out fires faster.

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 new outfits, while firefighter Sims will wear a uniform while on duty, and the base game's firefighter suit when responding to an emergency.

==Types of Jobs==

===Small House Fire===

Flames appear in a random household, the firefighter must put them all out.

This event can happen at any time. The player's screen shakes and a message appears prompting the firefighter to check out the fire station to see if they need help. One house at a time, the firefighter must:

*Put out several fires

*Clear rubble to save trapped Sims

 

== Promotion Levels ==

 

== Career rewards ==

*Firefighter's Trophy of Valor: Complete Gnome Invasion

*Firefighter's Trophy of Heroism: Complete Epic Science Facility Disaster

*If another co-worker is under your control i.e. you have two or more Sims that are firefighters you are able to bring them with another Sim. However this is not recommended as the glitch at the top of the page happens a lot more often.

*When your firefighter does maintenance on the alarm in their home, the station alarms also repair. This is not true for [[The Woo Woo 4000]].

*Originally, the upgrade on a firefighter's personal extinguisher appeared to be glitchy, as it had been reported to reset on game reload for some players. (This appears to have been fixed.)

*Co-workers are randomly assigned Neighborhood Sims, so don't be surprised if your Sim's grandmother is working with them!

*Playable [[ghost]]s may not be the best for this career, as they float to places very slowly, which wastes valuable time going to the firetruck and to the source of the inferno.

*[[Mummy|Mummies]] are afraid of fire, die immediately when burned, and walk very slow, so they make the very worst firefighters.

*When you have two (or more) firefighters and only one responds to a scene, the other firefighter can respond to the scene and will be immediately warped to the other firefighter's [[The Woo Woo 4000|firetruck]].

*Sometimes there is a case where your sim just can't respond to an emergency, when you click on the fire icon to respond to the emergency, the alarm stops and the action is instantly canceled, it is not known why this happens, and still there is no known solution for this problem.
