You play as a firefighter trying to rescue people from a burning skyscraper. You need to navigate through the floors of the building, putting out fires and collecting survivors. The goal is to complete each floor and move on to the next one, while earning bonus points for extinguishing all the fires.
The gameplay involves moving your firefighter up the screen, using a hose to put out fires and collect survivors. You need to be quick, as taking too long can result in the survivors dying. The game gets progressively harder as you ascend through the building. You can play solo or with a friend, and there are different variations and difficulty levels available.
