Into the Fire asks you to pass the Fire Breathers Knowledge Exam at the Charleston Fire Department before you can move on to the physical test. The terminal questions are about survival basics, first aid, mining signals and the Scorched. If you only need the answers, use the list below and match the answer text rather than relying on the order shown on your screen.

Where to take the test
The Fire Breathers Knowledge Exam is inside the Charleston Fire Department, on the southern side of Charleston. Speak to the Firefighter Protectron outside, then head into the station and use the terminals in the back room. You can read the notes around the building for context, but the answers above are enough to pass the exam and continue the quest.



After the Knowledge Exam
After passing, the quest sends you north toward the Charleston Herald building for the physical exam. Bring basic healing items, a weapon you are comfortable with and enough ammunition for Scorched enemies. The Knowledge Exam itself does not lock you out if you make a mistake, so you can retry the terminal if needed.
