What is it with the firefighters?!

Fireman Sam they are not.

The firefighters in my game usually just stand there dancing to the WooHoo music.

LMAOOO! Thanks for the laugh.
The firefighters in my game are fairly incompetent too and seem to prefer just standing around admiring the weather but this is on a whole new level.

A firefighter recently died in my game as well lol! I don't think it's supposed to happen tho, so might be a bug, but it's one I'm not mad about because it's entertaining.

There are two types of firefighters.

• Firefighters that come in to extinguish fires.
  
• Firefighters that come in to be sacrificed to the fire so it can go out and stay out.

My firefighters are more concerned with asking my sims "Hey can I be your best friend? Can I be your best friend, buddy?" and standing there helplessly than putting out the fires. They've never died but I don't think a single fire has been extinguished by them in the past couple months.

Well, at least the firefighters entered the dwelling! I've rarely had any of them come in and even view the fire, let alone doing the I'm so scared dance. Suffer me to say, I do believe they need a REFRESH. Please, EA, you gave them to us, but they are completely dysfunctional. Yikes.

This firefighter's colleague just ran out of the house and let him burn!

I find it outrageous that they haven't fixed this yet and everyone keeps laughing about it. There is nothing funny about service NPC not working.

"Aaargh! John, I'm burning! Help!."
