The year is 2010. Civilization has progressed little in the last 20 years. It is winter in New York. During the annual Christmas party in the Metrotech Chemical’s Company building, a small flame in the kitchen which had been left unattended was fueled by the abundance of chemicals. Fire rapidly spread throughout the building.
You play as Pete Grey, a firefighter veteran and the leader of the D-Sector fire brigade of a team of five. Accompanied by his trusty second in command and long time partner Danny McLean, they navigate through a blaze to find survivors and to put an end to the uncontrollable fire. Unfortunately the events of the first game lobotomized Danny's AI, as he went from being extremely helpful to completely useless in The Firemen II: Pete & Danny.

Should the player insert the cheatcode 7E15CB:04 an unused infinity symbol will show up instead. If the player confirms to continue playing the game, it will simply revert back to three.
