[b]Attention, Firefighters![/b]

Grab your gear and get ready – The [b]Alarm Mode Update[/b] is here to shake up your routine in Oakridge City! The sirens are blaring, the calls are coming in, and it’s up to you to respond when duty calls.

???? [b]Stay alert. Respond fast.[/b]

With this update, we’re introducing a major new feature:[b] Alarm mode[/b].

Experience dynamic mission alarms at random interval while in the fire station – no two shifts will ever be the same. Customize and fine-tune your alert frequency and preferences to match your playstyle. Choose whether you want to [b]progress your career[/b] or [b]replay completed missions[/b] — it’s entirely up to you.

???? [b]More control. Smarter crew.[/b]

We’ve also added a new [b]single-player pause feature[/b], allowing you to take a breather mid-shift while in menus.

And your AI squad just got smarter! Define their [b]autonomy and priority roles[/b] when acting independently:

• Prioritize [b]victim rescue[/b] before extinguishing fires

• Prioritize [b]extinguishing fires[/b] before rescuing victims

• Or choose a [b]mixed approach[/b]

???? [b]Back at the station: relax, prepare, and suit up.[/b]

Between alarms, the fire station is now more alive than ever!

In the [b]previous update[/b], we added [b]station wear[/b] — so now you can kick back and take off your heavy gear while off-duty. You’ll also find new ways to [b]interact with your surroundings[/b]: explore the station, discover fun little details, and enjoy some downtime before the next alarm sounds.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, this is the perfect time to explore everything the station has to offer!
