Interactions
The driver can interact with most structures and access their inventory and stockpile - press E or Shift + E
Can pull three times the normal amount from stockpiles - press Shift + LMB
Due to the destructive nature of fire, it is vital to have any firefighting equipment on the frontlines, and especially in easy to reach areas, as fire can spread and quickly lead to a front's collapse. Fire Engines should always be nearby, in easily accessible areas where anyone can quickly respond to a fire before it gets out of control. Additionally, it should be in the backlines in case Partisans with flamethrowers start burning down structures. Ideally, they should be fully loaded with water cans, ready for immediate action.
Due to fire being a powerful tool, it is also a tactical advantage to target Fire Engines, as you could make a frontline vulnerable to flamethrowers, which could destabilize a front.
In order to get the most coverage out of the Water Cannon, it is best for the driver to point the vehicle directly at the fire.
