- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Try to extinguish the fire as soon as possible. Although it does not stop the building from falling to pieces, it will save you trouble on the lower levels (it can fall through cracks in the levels and start up again).
* An easy way to beat the fire is to start spraying when you get within range to bring it down, then aim low while advancing to extinguish the tiny remnants (they can kill you!).
