Fire & Rescue Games
Nearly every little boy and many girls dream of one day becoming a firefighter, police officer or solider. That explains the hundreds of different rescue games that kids act out in their backyard. It's much easier to play fire and rescue games online, where you don't have to worry about skinned knees and broken bones. Video game systems also have different fire and rescue games available, but this list includes PC games, two of which can be played online and the links to which can be found in the "Resources" section.
Rescue Under Fire
Rescue Under Fire is an online game that puts you in the role of a military man in charge of a helicopter squad. A series of soldiers attached to your platoon were ambushed and attacked by rebels, but some of those soldiers are still alive. Your job is to kill the enemy soldiers attacking your soldiers and rescue all of your soldiers. The game is a little difficult to learn at the beginning, but an opening tutorial teaches you control the helicopter and get it back to the home base. If you land in a dangerous or enemy territory, your helicopter explodes and you have to start the level over again.
Rescue Heroes
Rescue Heroes is based on the cartoon of the same name and is appropriate for younger children. The game uses a board-game-style board and a popper that you use as dice. Players play against the computer or play against another player. As you advance through the game, you learn different facts about fire safety, such as calling 911, not playing with matches and practicing your escape route from the house. The game also makes mention of certain safety hazards and includes a space that sends you back three spots because you forgot to practice safety measures.
911 Fire Rescue
Atari released 911 Fire Rescue for the computer in 2001, and it still remains popular today. In the game, which is sold in stores, you play as a firefighter who must move into dangerous situations and save residents while also putting out fires. As the game progresses, you're required to do more than one task to complete the mission. For example, in one level, you might be required to extinguish a fire, find and rescue those that are alive in the building and also locate hazardous areas that might lead to another emergency situation.
