As fires are not a common occurrence in most playthrough of the game, many people don't actually know how dangerous a fire really is. So here is information about fires, because only you can prevent wildfires.
¶ Where, who, and why is Fire?
In a normal game, fires can only be started through a Danger Hob burning an item or improper usage of the Microwave. But there have been unique restaurant settings in the past that made fire occur more often and through different methods.
Fires can spread to adjacent items or mess on the floor, but it cannot spread across rooms (including through serving windows or doors). Fire takes 3 seconds for a player to extinguished it, or 0.6 seconds if they are holding a Fire Extinguisher.
While a object is on fire, the object usually gains the following properties:
- Prevents the appliance on fire and any item on that appliance from being interacted with from the player or from another appliance. This prevents an item from going though a process or allowing a player from manually using an appliance.
- An appliance that functions automatically can still work while on fire, like a Teleportor or Grabber.
- A player can still grab an item within a fire. This does include setting an item on a object that is on fire.
- If the object provides an item (such as Plates, Sharp Knife, or Carrot Provider), a player cannot use the grab function with the provider.
- This only applies to when a player tries to grab it. An appliance like a Grabber can still pull out the item from a provider.
- If the object is a customer or table with customer sitting there, those customer's patience bar will decrease at a near instant rate.
- If a table or its chairs are on fire, customers will not attempt to sit at the table unless the restaurant has the Charming level 3 bonus ("Customers will sit at tables before they are cleared").
In many ways, the game treats fire as an item that takes priority for interactions and that cannot be grabbed but can spread naturally by itself. In addition, it disables providers and has a major negative effect on customer's patience.
The rate of fire spreading is influenced by the amount of players in the game:
