This guide is no longer being updated because which buildings are flammable or not seem to change with each update and I do not feel like checking each building every that happens.

If you want to be extra sure, you can test your buildings by opening the cheat menu, clicking on a building, then clicking on "actions with object" and click on start fire.

Modded buildings do not seem to enjoy the same immunity as their vanilla counterparts, and modded helipads seem to also enable the fire stations they are attached to to catch fire.

It should be noted that these are all specific vanilla buildings, not categories. The test used to check the vulnerability is based off the assumption that buildings that cannot be set on fire using cheats also cannot catch fire normally.

Mod buildings will need to be checked individually, but it seems that all mods can catch fire.


If you don't see it below, it isn't fireproof.
(Ctrl-F) is your friend.

Road buildings:

• Free road depot
  
• Free technical office
  
• All gas stations
  
• All parking lots
  
• Trolley bus and tram trafos.
  
• Free bus station
  
• Small 200 passenger bus station
  
• Small 200 passenger trolley station

• Tram end station

The aggregate road un/loading facilities do not burn, but other road cargo stations do.

Train Buildings:

• Underground metro station without surface building
  
• Underground metro end station
  
• Small surface metro stations (elevated and surface level)
  
• Cargo station - only the 54m station length.
  
• Underground electric connections - all but the middle depth one.

Pedestrian Infrastructure:

• Metal stairs (concrete stairs burn)
  
• Underpass entrance piece
  
• 1st and 3rd deepest metro escalators (middle depth one burns)
  
• Most shallow metro stairs

Ship Buildings: Everything can burn.

Aircraft Buildings:

• Aircraft pads
  
• Cargo pads

Cableway Buildings:

• All cableway poles, except for the 2nd highest heavy pole.
  
• Small aggregate loading station.

General Cargo Buildings:

• Forklift garages
  
• Forklift connections
  
• Free distribution office
  
• Free Open storage
  
• Small space for vehicles (good to store nuclear waste in).

Aggregate Buildings:

• Conveyor engines (splitting type) - only ones with outlets at ground level.
  
• Conveyor engine (joining type) - only the tall one with outlet at mid level.
  
• Conveyor engine (overpass) - all but the joining variant.
  
• Free aggregate storage.

See respective road/train sections for fireproof loading and unloading stations.

Liquids (Pipelines) Buildings:

• Underground pumps
  
• Small tanks (300 tons and 90 tons)

See respective road/train sections for fireproof loading and unloading stations.

Dry-Bulk Buildings:

• Conveyor engine (splitting type) - all but the tall one with outlets at the bottom.
  
• Conveyor engine (joining type) - only the tall one with the outlet at the middle.
  
• Conveyor engine (overpass) - only the joining variant.

No dry bulk un/loading or storage facilities are fireproof.

Electricity Infrastructure:

• Small windmills (large windmills catch fire)
  
• MV and HV switches (transformers catch fire)
  
• MV priority switch (large one catches fire)

Note that foreign power connections built by the player are flammable.

Water & Sewage Infrastructure

• Small water treatment plant
  
• Small water well
  
• Underground water reservoir (yes, the water towers can catch fire and burn down)
  
• Sewage un/loading station

Heating Infrastructure: Everything can burn.

Waste Infrastructure:

• All "trash containers" a.k.a. "stands"
  
• Large stand transfer station (small one burns)
  
• All dumps without a crane
  
• Small dump with crane (large ones burn)

Apartment buildings: Yeah, no. I am not testing all those.

Residential buildings:

• Grocery
  
• Small store
  
• Football playgrounds (both)
  
• Basketball and volleyball court

See Tourism buildings for various other services.

State buildings:

• Supposedly all fire stations do not catch fire normally, but you can set them on fire using cheats.
  I suspect that attaching mod helicopter pads to fire stations can cause them to catch fire normally.

Tourism buildings:

• Chamomile (Teacups?) "carusel" ride
  
• Surprise (wall ride) "carusel" ride

Monuments and decorations:

• Trees and bushes
  
• All fountains, except for the square/rectangle ones.

• Park gate and railway gate

Industrial Buildings:

• Small gravel quarry (the large one burns)

Construction and Deconstruction offices:

• Free construction office
  
• Free demolition office
  
• Construction offices - only the 6 and 12 slot ones.

Other buildings:

• Customs houses can be set on fire via cheats, but I have yet to see or hear of one catching fire in a game.
  
• Most old city buildings can also be set on fire, but I haven't see or heard of this happening (they can still collapse from a lack of maintenance though).
  
• Farm fields are fireproof
