Fire for the Game & Watch was the fourth game released under the Silver Series. The player is entasked with rescuing survivors jumping out of a burning building. The rescue team must safely land all the survivors and get them to the ambulance in time. Move the rescue team left and right to position the life net under the evacuees. When they hit the net they will bounce back into the air. Carry them safely across the courtyard and to the waiting ambulance. Drop three evacuees and the game will end.

The game features two game modes. Game A, rewards the player 1 point for every evacuee returned to the ambulance. The speed increases as you play, and temporarily slows down every 100 points. In Game B, the speed of the evacuees is fixed, but the number of evacuees on screen at any one time increases to 9. You score 1 point for every evacuee returned to the ambulance.

A slightly remixed version was later released under the Widescreen Series with improved graphics and small gameplay additions.
