Sega arcade game that uses a light-gun controller shaped like a fire hose. The debut title for the Sega Hikaru arcade system in 1999, it had the most technically advanced graphics of its time. It was the first game with Phong shading, the most common shading technique today, and it had the most advanced lighting and particle effects of its time.

Played it so much as a kid, finally finished it at Galloping Ghost in Chicago on a road trip! REALLY fun and a properly short runtime for how repetitive it is. The ability to spread the hose to clear close fire faster is genius and the boss fights use the basics of the game in aggressive but fun to fight ways.
Just be warned those hose controllers are HEAVY. Another hour would've snapped my lil toothpick arms off.

I kinda want more fire fighter video games. They're pretty cool chaps
I once played a cabinet of this game where the players would stand right by a heating vent. Talk about immersive!
Awesome control scheme. Your controller is a firehose that you aim at the screen like a light gun to put out fires. Pretty unique. It can get repetitive but the silliness of the whole thing keeps it interesting longer than you'd expect. Played it at Galloping Ghost in Chicago.
Nice hoses in this one
