The Sims 3 Ambitions Guide Walkthrough Careers
Firefighter
Few figures cut a braver profile than the Firefighter. The Firefighter is a local hero, dedicated to saving both lives and property when a fire breaks out at either a community venue or a private residence.
This career is an absolute roller coaster, as a Firefighter can spend hours enjoying the relative peace of the fire station, working on projects or exercising to stay in shape, only to have the alarm break out.
Then, you hop on the fire engine to tear across town and extinguish the flames before anybody gets hurt. This is one of the most rewarding careers of Ambitions, thanks to the general awe the community shows you as you carry a child out of a burning house.
