As you work through Fallout 76's main quest line, it's more than likely your progress will come to a screeching halt in the quest "Into the Fire." This is because you're tasked to pass the Fire Breather Knowledge Exam, a multiple-choice test that you're liable to fail if you're unprepared. It's the first step of a longer trial that'll eventually help increase your chances of survival against the dangers of the West Virginia wasteland.

　　For the uninitiated, the Fire Breathers were a division of fire fighters dedicated to combating the Scorched before 2102, who were masters of surviving the wasteland's more hazardous climates. Passing their exam grants you access to their protective equipment, which you can use to navigate the Ash Heap. Below we detail the answers to the Fire Breather Knowledge Exam, as well as provide another solution for those who need a little direction but don't want the answers.

Where To Find The Answers Yourself

When you arrive at the Charleston Fire Department, you'll need to take the Knowledge Exam to initiate the process of becoming a Fire Breather. The questions mostly lean on your common sense, but you might run into some issues answering the questions correctly. Luckily for you, there is a cheat sheet in the main office upstairs. Refer to the screenshots below if you need help pinpointing exactly where it is.

　　Alternatively, you can search the station for marked notes scattered around the station that provide answers to the test. There are two notes in the same room as the terminal, while there's another in the locker room next door in an open locker. The last note is in the fire truck garage in another open locker. You can probably just look to the first method if you want an easier time!

　　

Exam Answers

While the cheat sheet itself provides pretty much all the answers to the exam, you're free to look below for all the answers. No judgement! Just input them into the Fire Breather Training System terminal downstairs and you should be well on your way.
