Firefighter F.D.18 is an action game created and developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo and published by Konami. [4] The game was released on March 9, 2004 in North America for the PlayStation 2.
The game revolves around Dean McGregor, a highly skilled firefighter as he gets involved in a series of blazes that may have been committed by an arsonist with assistance from a news reporter. [4]
In this game, players become firefighters. Their goal is to clear areas where fire has broken out and rescue civilians and fight fire "bosses" at the end. Players have an axe, a fire hose, and a fire extinguisher to break down doors and put out fires as they rescue survivors. Stages are timed. Obstacles, such as falling beams, and chemicals, hinder progress and must be cleared before the player can progress further.
