Do you have the sprinklers that came with Seasons? I've seen Simmers have these and not a fire alarm and suppression box and sprinklers came out of the ceiling and put out the fires. Otherwise, you do have to have a fire alarm and the suppression box somewhere on your lot in order to get sprinklers to come out during fires.
Ahh, I did put a sprinkler in the garden for my Sims to play in during the summer- does that automatically start them if there's a fire in the house?! That's a random coincidence that stopped my house burning down if so, and really quite awesome! Thanks!
Not that sprinkle - on the page with the fire alarm detector is the house fire sprinkler - Put it on an out side wall - I put mine near the back door - then I put a smoke detector in every room that has a fire device - like a stove, a fireplace, the chemistry set, the wood working bench if in the house. Where ever I have a smoke detector the alarm goes off - the sprinkler drops down and puts out the fire instantly. It does not work on anything outside - like barbeques or fire pits - sims has to put those out. ( I notice when the smoke detector goes off if any toddler are in the house one of the parents runs and gets the toddler and takes it out side. I have never seen a fire happen when there is an infant so don't know what happens in that case.)
It does not work on sims - but if a sim catches fire send them immediately to the shower and they will get the message to put them selves out. I always have a shower on each floor and have never lost a sim to fire yet. With the household sprinkler system I have never even lost a stove or fireplace yet - it is very fast and gets the fire out before any damage is done. Food on a stove is the only thing you usually use.
Do not use the yard sprinkler that's for playing in - not putting out fire. LOL.
I have picture of my sims grabbing the pets and leaving the toddlers, it did work one though when I asked the sim to move away from the fire and was then able to get them or someone else to extinguish them.
You cannot always trust another sim to put your sims out - especially if they are holding a pet or toddler - but the shower always work and seems quickest - well providing you have one nearby.
If I have a real small house and only 1 shower I sometimes put the outdoor shower from OR in the yard somewhere especially if I have a barbeque or fire pit in the yard so even if no one extinquishes those but the sim catches fire - you can still save them with the shower. I have wondered if the outdoor sprinkler might also work but have yet to have another fire to try it since we got seasons. But the game has had the house sprinkler system in it since base game - I saw that right away when the game first came out and I saw no firemen. I am surprised everyone else didn't figure it out. I have never lost a sim or stove or anything in Sims 4 due to fire in a house anyway.
I did almost lose a sim to the firepit in OR once until I figured out to have him jump into the outdoor shower - then after he was out he was able to put out the fire.
Also if you have JA you can buy cans of fire extinquisher at the outdoor market you can also use on home lots for barbeques, fire pits and even other Sims. I stock my sims up everytime I send them to JA so they always have a few left over for home and OR use as well. But now I have plenty and never get any fires. Naturally it is always the way I guess. LOL.
