how do i get rid of the fire damage on the meter?

You cannot get rid of that meter. If you would like to lower it, you must delete items in your lot to decrease the fire hazard.

I noticed the fire meter going up while I was deleting items! Try not buy/sell and then buy the same or similar item again. Maybe that will help that it doesn't go up as fast.

IKR I hate fire meters. But I also don't want my house to brn down eiher. OK so here is what I've experiened when you notice you're fire meter is almost full save and quit. Then in a couple days go back to it sometimes the fire meter goes down. And if you have to repeat.Unfortunately I never get to finish my houses bc I want too much. But I hope that this helps someone else.

You must delete the stuff you don't need like in your inventory

Just try to make sure you do not have your inventory packed

You can also add items that have a higher environment number. They bring less fire stuff on the bar.

Drapes, flowers, counters, rugs, scrap, outside plants, special seeds (such as life fruit seeds. One thing is that as they grow, they raise the meter.), and cabinets. Try saving and quitting several times when you add all of the hazardous objects, so that you'll have enough space for things like beds.

I baught a big house cause you want to start a family. I didnt add anything. But I started a garden and the Meter went up majorly with every damn peace of fruit or seed I put down. Wtf
