Blazes, is it getting hot in here or… nope, that’s just me.

I’m Flint Fire. I’m sure you’ve seen me around now and then. I’m elemental, after all. I’m the least common Risk you’re likely to encounter, but I tend to make a sizzling first impression. On average, I’m responsible for over $20,000 in damage when I show up at your door—a small price to pay for my company, really.

I’m pretty well known as a hothead, but people often let my reputation distract them from my subtler attributes. I fill up a room with my smile, of course—and also smoke and toxic gases from anything I happen to touch.

In residences, I usually get started with a little cooking. Call me old-fashioned, but I think the kitchen is an incendiary room to get to know someone. After a nice, charred meal, I’ll spread out and relax, burning from room to room. Unfortunately one of my adversaries usually shows up when I’m really starting to enjoy myself—firefighters are always party poopers, I tell ya, and I swear they’re in cahoots with those loud-mouth smoke alarms.

You may not expect it with my bright personality, but I really hit my stride in the winter. I peak in residences in January, actually—I like to really ignite the year from the start.

Uh oh, I think I hear that arrogant Felix Flood sloshing by, better keep moving. We don’t get along too well… he tends to dampen my mood.
