Firefighter

Master the Firefighter side mission in Grand Theft Auto III — The Definitive Edition. Learn how to extinguish fires, manage your time, and unlock the Flamethrower.

Alright, so you're looking to tackle the Firefighter mission in Grand Theft Auto III — The Definitive Edition? It's a classic, and honestly, pretty fun once you get the hang of it. You'll need a Firetruck to start, so make sure you've got one handy. Once you're in the driver's seat, just press R3 to kick things off.

The main gig here is putting out fires, but here's the kicker: you're on a clock! You'll need to be quick, and sometimes, you'll even have to ram into cars to get things moving. When you reach a blaze, hop out and press and Circle to blast away with the water hose. Use the Right Analog Stick to aim that stream right onto the flames.

Warning: You'll fail the mission if you run out of time, which usually means the target car goes boom. You can also fail if you die or, for some reason, decide to bail on your Firetruck.

The real prize here, besides some cash and general chaos, is unlocking the Flamethrower icon at your safehouse. To snag that, you've gotta put out a total of sixty fires: twenty on Portland, twenty on Staunton Island, and another twenty on Shoreside Vale. Get to it!
