Firefighting Sim’s next big content drop, Natural Disasters, is scheduled to go live on October 24, 2026 and run through October 30. It’s the headline item on the game’s calendar right now, and with more than about 22,000 players already marking interest, it’s the most-anticipated event Blackbox Express has put on the board so far.

Firefighting Sim is a first-person fire-rescue game from Blackbox Express where you answer 911 calls, race to the scene, and fight fires that spread in real time alongside a crew. It has grown into one of Roblox’s busier simulators, with about 11,000 players in the experience as of October 22, more than about 29,000,000 lifetime visits, and around about 92,000 favorites.

Current and upcoming events

Natural Disasters

Natural Disasters is Firefighting Sim’s next new-content update, opening October 24, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET (9:00 AM PT, 5:00 PM in the UK) and scheduled to run through October 30. The precise start and end times are in the schedule above.

As the name suggests, the update’s centerpiece is a set of natural-disaster scenarios layered on top of the usual house, vehicle, and brush-fire calls. Blackbox Express has also pointed to a mass-casualty ambulance and a tiller joining the fleet, a lineup of European-style trucks, and another round of quality-of-life changes and bug fixes. More than about 22,000 players have already registered interest, which makes it comfortably the biggest draw on the calendar.

Update 1 (recently wrapped)

The studio’s first headline update ran from October 2 through October 9, 2026. It added seven new vehicles and a fresh livery for the ladder engine, along with four new tools for working a scene.

The standout addition was a Chief role: players filling it can spawn directly into active calls, make PA announcements, and assign a deputy. The update also introduced new call types, including a tree blocking a roadway and a fire at a gas station. With Natural Disasters following just over two weeks later, it points to a studio pushing out sizable content updates at a steady clip.
