August 14 fix roundup (2026-08-14) officially addressed this fire station issue: Picking up supplied paint or filler before the intended stage can break progression. If it still occurs after updating, treat it as a possible regression or different cause, not a guaranteed repair of your existing save.

Official fix versus your current save
The developer's August 14 fix roundup 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 remove all supplied materials at arrival before reading the objective.
- If the installed game is older than the named patch, update and retest the same action.
- If the issue persists, try an existing known-good save without overwriting the failing one.
- If it repeats, report fire station, the exact objective, installed build and reproduction steps to the developer's Steam discussion board.
