TINDERBOX is a top-down firefighting action game for Windows with a free browser demo: seven burning buildings, 40 people and 11 animals to get out. You are the fire warden of an old timber town with a barrel of water on your back. Try the first two buildings right here on the page. The fire is a field that spreads cell by cell along whatever can burn, faster downwind, and it burns differently every time you go in.
Hold the water and it swings where you steer. Steer away from it and you back up still spraying. You get about twenty seconds in the barrel, and the pump is out on the street. Getting them out Shout and those who can walk run for the door, unless flame stands in the way. Clearing it is your job. Lift the ones who cannot, and the animals.
You cannot spray with your arms full, and a body you carry through fire takes the fire too. Shut a door and it holds the fire back for a while. A door that glows is about to blow out at whoever opens it, so cool it first. Rip up the boards with your axe. Wet boards hold a fire for a while. Ripped-up boards hold it for good. Breathe. Smoke takes your breath slowly, flame takes it fast.
