Synopsis

It started with toast...

Now the smoke alarm is blaring and all your neighbours are stumbling, bleary eyed, onto the apartment lawn, 3 storeys below.

Your city has some of the best firefighters in the country, which is bad news for you. These fireys frown on nuisance call outs. It happened just last week and they gave you a caution. They said next time it would be a hefty fine.

How ironic that your insurance covers fire but not fines for lack of fire.

You can't afford a fine at the moment, you can't even afford to pay the bills. There's only one way to get out of this: It's time to embrace your inner fire-bug. Unfortunately, these firemen scramble fast. Judging by last week's response time, you have just 5 minutes. 5 minutes to burn something!
