One thing we can all agree on about life is that it’s unpredictable, and a digital life in InZoi is no different. You never really know what each new day will bring, and it’s certainly not all good fortune. Accidents can happen in InZoi, including fires.

inZOI’s character creator is feature-packed, but beware: you won’t be able to make normal, non-beautiful characters.
Fires can cause widespread damage throughout your home, and could potentially kill your Zoi if you’re not careful, so you don’t want to let them run wild. Or alternatively, you might want to set a fire on purpose, whatever your reason for looking up fires, we’ve got you covered.
InZoi is currently in early access so the content will change with time. We’ll update this guide as we have more information.
How Do Fires Start?
Zois using any electronics has a chance of starting a fire. Though fires begin in one small area of the affected electronics, they will quickly spread to other furniture items, including items you wouldn’t think could catch fire, including… fire extinguishers.
Krafton has mentioned Zois being able to “set a fire”, though at present it doesn’t appear this is an option yet.
Furniture destroyed by a fire cannot be used anymore and must be replaced, which can cost you quite a lot if the fire manages to spread quite far.
How To Extinguish Fires
You can click on a fire and opt to have your Zoi attempt to put it out, but it comes at the risk of your Zoi possibly succumbing to the flames and dying as a result. If the fire is small, it’s definitely worth tackling yourself, but if it’s large then it would be safer to have your Zois evacuate and call the fire department instead.
If you select your Zoi, you’ll have several emergency options:
|
Report Fire |
Your Zoi calls the fire department who will arrive fairly quickly, unless they are all currently busy on other jobs. |
|---|---|
|
Fire! |
Have your Zoi panic about the fire. |
|
Evacuate to Safety |
Have your Zoi leave the vicinity of the fire. |
|
Put Out Fire |
Have your Zoi attempt to extinguish the fire themselves. |
It’s worth noting that during my playthrough, the firefighters wouldn’t actually fight the fire and instead hung around outside my home, despite trying numerous times.
It might just be a glitch for this save, but I tried greeting them first (as you need to with cleaners), setting my front door to ‘Unlocked’ so anyone can enter, and calling more firefighters.
It could be because there was no nearby Fire Hydrant for them to use, and maybe they don’t like extinguishers.
How To Protect Against Fire
If you want to ensure a fire doesn’t wreck the homes of your Zois, there are a few things you can do.
Buy Alarms And Extinguishers
Purchasing fire alarms is recommended. There are a few options available in Build Mode.

It’s worth noting that these don’t appear to automatically call the fire department, but instead will set off an alarm and flash red lights so that both you as the player and your Zois are alerted to the presence of the fire.
You can also buy a Fire Extinguisher or Fire Hydrant to add to your property, to ensure your Zois are well-equipped to deal with fires before they get out of hand.

Raise The City’s Fire Prevention Rate
Select your Smartphone and go to the City Map, from there, select ‘Manage City’ and scroll down to the ‘Fire Prevention Rate’. Increase the bar all the way to reduce the chance of fires happening in the city.
How To Start Fires
If you are feeling a little mischievous and you want to start a fire—we don’t ask questions here—there are things you can do to increase your odds. While at present you can’t just have a Zoi set a fire, you can do a couple of things to increase your odds:
Lower The City’s Fire Prevention Rate
Head into the Manage City option from your Smartphone. You want to lower the slider all the way down, which increases the chance of electricals catching fire when used.
Cram Your Home With Electronics
Next, you can cram your home with electronics (we found that wall-mounted TVs seemed to do the trick) and switch them all on. Before long, you’ll have a raging inferno and a hefty damage bill.
