When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Firetruck
by R. Noyes

When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Firetruck is a Z-machine interactive fiction game written with Inform 6 and is © 1999 by R. Noyes. It was an entry in the Speed-IF 6 event.

You're here at the Pleasure Pier to ride your favourite roller coaster of all time with your reporter friend, Chris, but Chris didn't show up! That's a real problem because they won't let you ride the coaster alone!

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the game.

Thank You to my Patreon supporters

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
