What You Get & Where to Sell It
You're paid cash directly per fire — no items to sell. Pay scales with the fire's size, roughly $500 for a small fire up to $1,500 for a big one. In a group you can share the reward.
💰 Cost vs Reward
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Investment (one-time) | None — truck + extinguisher are free |
| Cost per run | $0 |
| Reward per run | $500–1,500 per fire (by size) |
| Break-even | Instant — pure profit |
| After that | Bigger fires = bigger pay |
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Bigger fires pay more — don't shy away from the large ones.
- Play with friends to clear fires faster and take more calls per hour.
- Make sure every flame is out before moving on, or the call won't complete.
Timer, Late Penalty & Playing as a Group
Each fire runs on a 7-minute clock with 2 minutes of spare time, and lateness costs −$100 per minute. Fire Department is a multiplayer side-job: a crew can work the same call and optionally split the reward, so a bigger fire is genuinely easier with two or three people on the truck.
Note that this is a Job Centre side-job, not the framework's whitelisted firefighter career — it does not change your character's job or unlock any medic tooling. It is the call itself, nothing more.
How It Compares to the Other Side-Jobs
Every job below starts at the same Job Centre NPC (-552.53, -188.47, 38.22), needs no level and
no purchase, and none of them carry a police risk. The difference is pay, pace and how hard the
clock pushes you:
| Job | Pay | Timer | Late penalty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Newspaper Delivery | $300–325 per delivery | 6 min (+2 spare) | −$5 / min |
| Mobile Hotdog | $50–150 per sale | None | — |
| Pizza Delivery | $800–1,100 per delivery | 5 min (+2 spare) | −$50 / min |
| Bus Driver | $800–1,100 per line | 7–11 min (+2 spare) | — |
| Forklifter | $1,300 flat per load | 4–6 min (+2 spare) | −$150 / min |
| Fire Department | $500–1,500 per fire | 7 min (+2 spare) | −$100 / min |
| Gardener | $1,500 flat per garden | None | — |
| Trucker | $1,500–4,000 per haul | 10–12 min (+2–4 spare) | −$50 / min |
Reading it: Trucker has the biggest ceiling, Gardener has the best pay with no clock at all, and Forklifter punishes lateness hardest relative to its payout. Newspaper Delivery is the gentlest place to learn the map before you take on a timed haul.
