Dialogue

Pt. 1

After starting the update Chief, help! I was having a Christian book burning, and the works of E.L. James got out of control! People just keep adding more and more of them! Our next available appointment is Friday. Would you prefer 8 to 12 or 1 to 5? Friday?! But the fire could spread to my house -- I need it out now! Sorry, but we're backed up with fires.

Pt. 2

After completing Pt. 1 Homer, this is ridiculous. We need a fire department. And who would I staff it with? New characters? Ha! They've already introduced everyone. Even characters who only appeared in deleted scenes. Why don't we volunteer as firefighters? And why would we want to do work for no money? Because if there's a terrorist attack that kills some of us, the ones who survive will get to comfort the widows. I'm in! Me too! Me three! Me four! Can I do this and still get paid as a cop? Task: "Make Men Volunteer for the Fire Department" (x4). The jobs take place at the Town Hall or Simpson House and take 6 seconds. Looks like we have our new Firemen! Alright, time to get us some hot widows! I'm just excited to get a few minutes away from mother. And a few minutes away from Manjula, the store and all eight of my children. Why eight?! Message Get Apu and Homer new Fireman Skins! Unless you want them in Third Degree Burn Skins later on. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Fire Chief Moe

Pt. 3

After completing Pt. 2 The Kwik-E-Mart is on fire! Sorry, I was trying to dry my socks in the hot dog roller. I tried dousing it with Squishee, but it only fed the flames! The stuff's ninety percent propane. Ooh, our first fire! I'm gonna take a selfie of me fighting it for Springface! Message Fires are popping up all around town. Tap on them for Medals!

After completing Pt. 4 Help! Krustyland is on fire! I wonder who started that one. Hehe.

Task: "Make Firemen Fight the Police Station Fire". The job takes place at the Police Station and takes 3 hours. Task: "Collect Gold Medals" (x800). Chief, the fire was caused by the microwave in the break room exploding. Yeah, so? A microwave wouldn't explode unless it was used at least 100,000 times. Yeah, so? But there's only five of you who work there. Yeah, so? And you've only been working there for four years. Yeah, so? So that means each of you are taking 10,000 breaks a day in the break room. Yeah, so? Message Feeling a little arsony? Grab the Tire Fire! Quest reward: 100 and 10 Fireman Skinner

Pt. 6

After completing Pt. 5 I don't get it. There are no hydrants in this town. What are you fighting fires with? With fire. That's a thing, right? Come on, Lisa. No four-year-old freemium game is gonna hire animators just to design hydrants. They haven't even hired someone to figure out how to make us walk in more than two directions. I know. Last night it took me fifteen minutes to get from the living room to the kitchen. Message Fire Hydrants are now in the store. Let your fingers do the walking!

After completing Pt. 6 We've determined that the fire at the elementary school was set intentionally. So fess up, who started it? I did. It was the only way to get the asbestos out of school. I did. I had a book report due tomorrow. I did. I had book reports to grade tomorrow. I did. I wanted to die a Viking's death. Task: "Make Wiggum Declare the School Fire a "Cold Case"". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary and takes 3 hours. Task: "Collect Gold Medals" (x700). There you go again, awarding everyone medals just for participation.

Pt. 9

After completing Pt. 8 I bet you firefighters are all really good at cooking chili. Nah, that's just a stereotype you always see on TV. How about that story that firefighters can always get free groceries? Nope. Stereotype. Really? Oops. For the past week I've just been taking my groceries without paying for them.

Pt. 10

After completing Pt. 9 Hooray! Now we have a place to avoid our wives when we're not avoiding them by actually fighting fires. Wait... is the Fire Station now on fire? How could this happen? I was boiling some water to make ramen, since that's the only thing firemen know how to cook in real life. But then I got distracted answering all the calls from people reporting fires! We need to hire a 911 Operator. We need a lot of things. But first The Simpsons needs to make some episodes with new characters. Hey, I got someone for the job... and he already exists! Who's that?
