Game & Watch: Fire
  
Game & Watch: Fire was an action game by Nintendo Research & Development 1 that was published by Nintendo in a standard screen format with a silver case in 1980. It used frame-by-frame movement on a liquid crystal display and was the fourth Game & Watch system. A widescreen version was released in 1981. In addition, a keychain version was released as part of the Nintendo Mini Classics line in 1998.

In North America, it was published by the toy corporation Mego as Time-Out: Fireman Fireman. The Mego partnership expired after a year, and Nintendo of America distributed it under its original Japanese title.

In Germany, the standard screen version was published by the toy company Bienengraeber as tricOtronic: Hilfe, es Brennt! (Help, it's Burning!) and the widescreen version was published as Super tricOtronic: Rettung im Sprungtuch (Rescue in the Trampoline).

Fire was preceded by the third Game & Watch console, Vermin, and was succeeded by the fifth Game & Watch console, Judge.

An unlicensed variant of Fire was released in the Soviet Union under the Elektronika Microprocessor Games line as Kosmicheskiy Most (Space Bridge) in 1989.

It was remade in Game & Watch Gallery for Game Boy in 1997 and for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in 2011. It was then remade in Game & Watch Gallery 3 for Game Boy Color in 1999, for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in 2015, and through an emulator on the online service for the Nintendo Switch in 2023. It was also remade for Game & Watch Gallery 4 for Game Boy Advance in 2002 and for the Wii U Virtual Console in 2016.
