To start with, you get a large and sturdy board depicting the four different towers, forest, and the eternal flame in the center. They are relatively self-explanatory, wind affects wind direction, fire spreads fire, firebreaks put barriers to the slow the spread of the fire, and water removes fire tokens.

While manning your fire tower you notice smoke in the distance and pull out your radio to report a blaze growing somewhere in the forest.

Allowing a player who has been eliminated from the game to join back into the chaos was a lovely twist and such a simple way to keep everyone at the table invested and involved. So the wind can cause situations to occur where the tempo shifts against you, and there’s little you can do about it. It creates one firebreak in the center of its pattern and then fills the spaces around it with fire.
