Fire Department 3 is a real-time strategy game developed by Monte Cristo and released in 2006 for PC. The third entry in the series follows firefighting crews across 13 missions set in five countries: France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Ukraine. A dynamic fire and smoke system drives the gameplay — flames spread based on wind and flammable materials rather than scripted paths, while smoke travels through ventilation routes and depletes oxygen levels. Players manage multiple firefighter classes, each with distinct abilities such as breaking down doors, administering first aid, handling toxic substances, or enduring extreme heat, alongside 15 vehicle types including fire engines, helicopters, boats, bulldozers, and planes. Units can be set to defensive, offensive, or heroic stances. Missions include primary and secondary objectives. Two multiplayer modes are available — cooperative play with shared or divided unit control — plus three bonus multiplayer missions.
