- Be careful when driving a Fire Truck, as running over pedestrian NPCs will quickly give you a Wanted level. The “Knockdown” Award only counts once per full job (all 5 dispatches completed), so if you get a Wanted level and the job ends early, it will not be counted.

- During fire suppression, keep an eye on the gauge displayed in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This gauge indicates the fire suppression progress; if the gauge is not decreasing, your water spray is not hitting the fire.
