===Classic version===

[[File:Fire Game & Watch Gallery.png|thumb|left|The Classic version of ''Fire'' from ''Game & Watch Gallery'']]

People jump out of a burning building and fall down to get rescued. The player, controlling two men carrying a life net, must bounce the people off the life net to get them to the ambulance on the other side of the screen. If the two men catch a person, the player earns a [[point]]; people who have been caught bounce and must be caught again. People fall at different speeds depending on where they are. As time passes, more people jump from the burning building, and they eventually fall faster. If the two men miss one of the falling people, the person gets injured and runs away, and the player receives a miss. If the player reaches 200 and 500 points, any misses they have are removed, and the people freeze to make it easy to get them before they continue falling. The player receives a [[Game Over]] when they have three misses. In Game B, people jump out from two floors of the burning building, making the game harder.

===Modern version===

[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] attempt to catch [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, and [[Donkey Kong Jr.|Donkey Kong Jrs.]] after they jump out the window of [[Princess Peach]]'s burning [[Peach's Castle|castle]]. The catch is that different characters fall at different speeds: Toads bounce the highest, while Donkey Kong Jrs. bounce the lowest. [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s also appear and contain either a [[Bob-omb]] or a [[3-Up Moon|Moon]] (a [[Super Star]] in the first game); the eggs break open when they are caught or hit the ground. The player receives two points for catching an egg. If a Bob-omb reaches the carriage, everyone, including the Mario Bros., runs away as the carriage explodes, and the player gets a miss. If the Mario Bros. catch a Moon, the player receives five points. At 200, 500, and 700 points, Peach appears and blows a kiss, sending out a [[1 UP Heart|heart]] for Mario or Luigi to catch to remove a miss. Music is also featured in this version, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game. In the ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' version, the time of day changes every 200 points collected.

==Trivia==

[[File:G&WG3 Fire.png|thumb|''Fire'' as it appears in ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'']]

*In the original Silver and Wide Screen versions, angels were used as miss marks. In the ''Game & Watch Gallery'' series, bandages replaced the angels. An animation was also added to show the evacuee limping away.

*The port shown in ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'' is reversed. According to the game, ''Fire'' was originally supposed to ship as such, but a mistake was made during LCD production and the graphics were reversed.  

*The ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'' port of ''Fire'' uses the design of the original Silver series ''Fire'' with the points system of the Wide Screen series ''Fire''. In the original Silver version of ''Fire'', points were given only when an evacuee would reach the ambulance.  

*The ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' Modern version of ''Fire'' was apparently meant to be one of the games included in the canceled Game & Watch series of [[e-Reader]] cards.
