House fire lasted two days

I kept the lint tray clean, but seems the washer/dryer doesn't like my sims at all. I just started playing this household (play testing my house I built) and a few days(maybe a week?) later a fire started. No one could extinguish it. Kids went to school except the teen. The parents, teen and toddler were about to die and I panicked. Came to forums to get cheats, activated the one to not let anyone die and the one to make them happy. The fire lasted two days before it was done. NOTHING I could do but wait and watch.
Yeah, I never used sprinklers before and never worried about getting their skills up. Here are some pics

Only had to replace the stereo after two days of fire burning thru the entire househttps://i.imgur.com/t5GipkQ.png
I thought when CL came out and your apartment caught fire, that a neighbor could run in and put it out? Neighbors walked by my house and watched and left, but no one helped. This is the time when firefighters are needed!

Needless to say, I was stressed over this. Two days? Really? Glad I didn't have a two story house.
Has anyone else had a fire last this long? Is this a bug?

    Wow, that is a lot of fires. I always made sure the lint tray was cleaned too. Did the fire just put itself out or were you able to extinguish the fires?



    My Sims were able to put them out. I can’t quite recall if these happened before or after I patched to the latest (freelance career) patches. I think potentially before.
    Like I said, none of the fires was prolonged or widespread in the event.


    Thank you, thats good to know.

    @GalacticGal agree, that is very frustrating when there is nothing you can do!

    @83bienchen Well, I won't be using any campfires either then (I very seldom use them anyway). At least your sims were rescued, LOL. Hard to believe the book bug was fixed before, geez, it is very annoying!

    @JackOnYourBack When you say starting one four times in a row, is that because you couldn't start it and it took the forth time to get it to light?
