It's really nice that the game previews how the wind will affect the fire, but the game can still benefit from more dedicated usability.
Some form of progression, like starting with more than one fire and then reducing that after each goal, would be nice to introduce the mechanics more gently.
Now, if only there were little firemen fighting the fires of the fireman most firmly, those fearless firemen. In other words, choosing where the wind blows would have a tactical aspect, if people were digging ditches and felling trees here and there, trying to soil the fireman's plan.
Anyhow, for what it is, this is competent.
