Fire station fire cannot be extinguished

Work order / direct answer

August 13 hotfix (2026-08-13) officially addressed this fire station issue: The fire-station fire does not extinguish. If it still occurs after updating, treat it as a possible regression or different cause, not a guaranteed repair of your existing save.

Match the symptom

The fire-station fire does not extinguish.

Check before changing your save

Compare the active fire objective with the launch-day hotfix, not later paint or lamp objectives.

  1. Confirm Steam has completed all available updates.
  2. Compare the active fire objective with the launch-day hotfix, not later paint or lamp objectives.
  3. Do not restart the whole campaign before checking installed updates.

Official fix versus your current save

The developer's August 13 hotfix note establishes a historical fix for this symptom. It does not publish a universal recovery command or prove that a previously damaged save will repair itself. This guide has not independently retested your save.

Recovery decision

Do not restart the whole campaign before checking installed updates.

  1. If the installed game is older than the named patch, update and retest the same action.
  2. If the issue persists, try an existing known-good save without overwriting the failing one.
  3. If it repeats, report fire station, the exact objective, installed build and reproduction steps to the developer's Steam discussion board.
