    Hi @mrs_dork

    This is by design. There's no Fire department in Sims 4. You need to extinguish the fire yourself.

    There's also sprinklers you can install.

    The Grim Reaper standing around usually points towards a problem where he can't get to the dying Sims. Resetting the Grim Reaper and the dying Sims usually helps with that.

    You can try loading a backup by clicking the restore button on your save.

Well if that's the case how come I was unable to put it out myself? I hadn't played for a while until yesterday but could've sworn I had somebody show up and put out the fire for me. If I'm not remembering right, and there is no FD, then what the hell?
And there was nothing in the grim reaper's way preventing him from getting to her.
How does one reset them? I hadn't saved. I barely had started playing.

You can use the cheat resetsim grim reaper.

There is a problem where putting out fire is very sensitive to where you click on the fire. What happened when you clicked on the fire ?

There is definitely no FD, maybe you're confusing with Sims 3 ? That had a FD. It's also possible that guest put out the fire and since the apartment has bugs with NPCs randomly waltzing in, that could have been the case ?
