It's rare.

Since Alpha 16 your powerstation will explode when wet, creating a fire. Other ways are the destruction of equipement that requires a direct powerinput like a cooker or a laundrymachine.

I've have seen 2 of them and trust me, you should be glad you never saw one.

The Alpha 16 changelog said that prisoners would start using lighters when they feel destructive but they aren't available to steal that much, perhaps if you edit a savegame to give your prisoners some lighter you get the desired effect :twisted:

Same here, playing since Alpha 5. I hope they will add a "spawn desaster" button in the finished game, sort of like in Sim City. And more kinds of desasters :twisted:

I've had a decent few, mostly because of my prisoners losing their crap in the laundry and causing a short.

Ha ha, sorry, but so far; no. Editing and cheating aside, the only time I got a fire was when my save got corrupted. It makes sense in a way, how you can spend the money for sprinklers, but it would:
1) Never happen you lost your investment.
2) Happen, gets snuffed out.
3) Breaks fire code, your prison must be brought up to date by court order dates.

I just thought of this, purchasable fire extinguishers? Also can be used for contraband. :D

I'm not sure if this was mentioned before, but I believe there is a Fire Extinguisher sprite in the people.png file.

It's among the contraband sprites next to the fire, so it could happen.

Those are the tool sprites used by staff so it's more likely someone will be able to use one in case of fire rather than contraband.

someone should make a mod for this, have a random chance that a building will catch on fire...
Also maybe you can create a map for a fire, and just create a huge fire...
