Fire makes the build and buy modes unavailable, so Sims or objects cannot be moved out of the way, and fire alarms can't be bought. Fires cannot start on community lots but can start in owned businesses.Ī fire can spread from its original tile and will eventually burn objects, but if it is extinguished early enough, the objects can be saved.
In general, fires can start from cooking accidents, using objects that use fire, machinery malfunctioning, or magic. Fires can break out in Sims' homes, burning furniture and objects.
