Tower Inferno - Fire Department in Second Life

Most people will not choose a life full of danger with little reward, but at the SecondLife Fire Department (SLFD), you will find the exact opposite - people love to risk their lives fighting dangerous fires.

The SLFD, located in the city of Bodhisena, is a role-play organization specialized in fighting various types of fires - high rise building, sewer, restaurant, etc. Not only the location varies, the type of fire also varies - there is class A fire extinguishable by water, and class B fire extinguishable only by foam. Use water on class B will quickly spread the fire.

But fighting fire is just not simply spraying into the fire, you also need to water your body temperature, watch your oxygen, and watch where you step. Ignoring any one of these can get you kill very quickly.

New comers can join SLFD and start at the Probie level. After taking classes at the SLFD Academy to learn how to fight fires and to operate the equipments, they will then graduate to become a qualified fire fighter.

If you love role-playing, SLFD is not a place to miss.
