Use the hydraulic rescue tool to pry open car doors and work through heavily damaged vehicles. When obstacles block your path, grab the rescue chainsaw and cut your way through. With new mechanics such as vehicle extrication, sawing, and leak plugging, these missions add a new layer of hands-on rescue gameplay to Firefighting Simulator: Ignite.
