A fire trap is a timed trap encountered in Lemmings: The Puzzle Adventure.

Fire traps are indestructible steel blocks with three crevices on the surface of the trap which each spew out a columns of flames, engulfing almost the entire tile above and immolating lemmings caught walking over the trap. As a timed trap, the flames are cyclically cast out every 20 seconds (approximately).

Leftward/Rightward Fire Trap

An advanced version of the fire trap can throw flames either to the left or to the right of the trap, streaming out three rows of flames that engulf the diagonal half of the adjacent tile.

Fire Trap Properties

  • The flames last for 2 to 3 seconds and pass through structures, making them impossible to block, cover, or smother
  • The flames only burn lemmings
  • It is possible to create structures that bypass any of the trap's flames
    • Upwards fire traps can be bypassed by bridges
    • Both leftwards and rightwards fire traps can be completely bypassed by creating stairs going to the top of the trap
  • On stairs positioned below a sidewards fire trap, the fire may still reach and kill descending lemmings even when the stairs leads away from the trap (this behavior is unique to when lemmings descend the stairs and the same set of stairs is always safe to ascend)
  • Floaters right next to a sidewards fire trap can stay safely out of reach of its fire by floating down from the far edge of the trap's reach (done by using an umbrella squarely at drop off)

Creatorverse[]

All variants of the fire trap are available to use in creatorverse for VIP players. Otherwise, upwards fire traps can be used in creatorverse upon unlocking it in planet 8: "Geyser Springs" and the leftwards\rightwards versions can be used upon unlocking them in planet 14: "Ice Sculpture".
