Sims panicking about a fire during a party in The Sims 3

Fire is a disaster state in most games in The Sims series. Fires are usually caused by Sims with low Skills (especially a low cooking skill), Sims using cheap appliances, or by objects being placed near open flames (near a fireplace, for instance). Once a fire has started, some game modes are restricted, preventing the player from cheating to put out the fire. While a fire is burning, Sims will run towards the fire (defying all common sense to the contrary), then proceed to jump, yell and generally panic until the fire is put out. Sims panicking too close to a fire or attempting to put the fire out may catch fire themselves, and may even die from the blaze. Practicing appropriate fire safety can prevent tragic fire disasters.
