Steel Canyon fires: a few questions

Steel Canyon fires: a few questions

 

1.)  What, if anything, can externally affect the performance of the extinguisher backpack?  For example, can yellow inspirations reduce the number of misses, or can Hasten speed the interval between spray actions?  Anything else that might affect it?

 

2.) What's probably the best way to solo a fire site, start to finish?  Rotate between gangs and fires, or try to eliminate all gangs (to prevent re-ignition of fires) then hopefully have enough time for all the fires? Perhaps another tactic?  I ask this because it appears that at some fires I've been able to eliminate all the gangs, and at others, they appear to keep on coming until the end.

 

3.) What speeds up/slows down the timer until the fatal blast?  Does elimination of all the gangs effect this?  Do the number of fires do this?  I've notice the warning blast goes off at different times, and there seems to be different lengths between it and the final blast, which leads me to believe there are effects on the timer.

Basically, the extinguisher packs act like any other temp power, so inspirations and such don't really work. 

The fires are also weak to any Ice or Cold attacks you may have. 

 

Start with the fires first, once you clear enough you can get the larger pack from the Fire Chief.  Don't worry too much about the Hellions, but if you've got a good AoE attack feel free to disperse them from time to time.    You're not going to get all the badges in one event.

 

It's also a zone event, so it's designed to be handled by a group.  Focus down one fire at a time, maybe have someone on Hellion duty.
