Tragic Events is an expansion for Flash Point: Fire Rescue. It includes the Fire & Event decks that are designed to replace the Hot Spot mechanic in the experienced game rules. At the beginning of a game, a Fire deck is created with Fire Rage and Accelerate cards, and a pool of Flare Up cards is set by the board.

During each Anvance Fire phase, a Fire card is drawn and resolved. The Accelerate card causes events to occur and will add Flare Up cards to the Fire deck – increasing the rate of fire spread in the game. Flare Up cards also trigger Events, add anther Flare Up card to the deck, and force you to draw another Fire card.
