what is the optional fire action?

[Racer]

Vehicular Fire Extinguishers CAN be triggered with a Firing Action as well . This eliminates a Fire and any Fire Modifiers/Burn Duration markers on the Vehicle . This was in a ADQ&A but check with the Duel Master first .

I often link my Fire Extinguisher to a main Weapon 'just in case' - $50 and peace of mind when in heavy "Fire" fights ... :-)

I think the reason I interpreted the word "fire" in that FAQ item as referring to the noun and not the verb is because I just finished reading through the Car Wars 4th edition reissue rules, and the rules about fires and how to deal with them were basically the only thing I was confused about, which prompted me to come here to start fishing for info. Honestly, I'm still not quite 100% on how it all works, but it's ok, games with the level of madness and chaos of Car Wars won't be broken by getting a few details wrong here and there.

Many thanks to all!

They *can* be -- but it's pointless, as the [I]FE activates automatically when the car catches fire.

It is a problem when the rules use one word with multiple possible meanings -- "turn" is another one; does it refer to the series of game-play actions, or the act of changing a vehicle's direction?
