Overview

Firedamp is a reddish-orange gas that is found leaking from holes on the ground in some rooms in The Mines. Rooms with Firedamp leaks have red signs with fire icons on their doors, as well as orange gas flowing through the gaps under the doors or out of the rooms if the doors have already been opened.

Behavior

The Firedamp is unsafe to breathe and extremely flammable. If a player stays in a room filled with this gas for too long, their vision will slowly darken and blur and their hearing will become muffled until they eventually pass out and die from suffocation, after 53 seconds. Additionally, if the player brings a fire-producing item into a Firedamp-filled room, such as a Lighter with fuel, and activates it, the fire will ignite the gas and explode, instantly killing the player. The Firedamp gas will also act as a light source, although it cannot be relied on in some cases.

Notes

• Screech can still spawn in rooms with Firedamp leaks, in which case it might be harder to detect it since the player's vision and hearing will become reduced.
• Depending on the time you've got left for escaping the room, the camera will tilt more. Also, you will hear your heartbeat and a violent high-pitched sound if you are suffocating.
• Moonlight Candles cannot ignite the gas, most likely because Guiding Light is lighting it, and not fire.
• Any light source that does not produce a visible flame is safe to use in rooms with Firedamp leaks, such as a Straplight.
• Candles cannot ignite the gas, either because candles can't spawn in The Mines, or due to a bug.
  • If you try to light a candle in a firedamp room in The Hotel, the ignition will work, but the flame will not stay lit as it vanishes when danger is nearby (and it will also use up fuel).
• Players will run out of oxygen after staying inside a firedamp room for ~54.8 seconds.
• If Dupe spawns in this room, the correct door will always have Firedamp gas in front of it.
  • This also goes for rooms without Dupe.
  • This was fixed after.
• Firedamp rooms are not indicated on the door in The Sewers, only by the gas visible below the next door. (May not be visible if low graphics are used)
• You can restore your vision by going back to the previous room but be careful of your camera tilt.
• Using a lighter in a Firedamp room kills only the player that used it and not any other players that might be in the room.
• Entering a firedamp room with a lit candle, or lighting a candle within a firedamp room will not ignite the gas, this is likely a bug.
• Once a player is exploded by using a lighter in a firedamp room, the body parts of said player will be set on fire and have a corroded metal texture.
• Although it is somewhat rare for this to happen, Giggles can still spawn in these rooms without suffocating themselves.
• If Sally attacks the player in a firedamp room, the player will hyperventilate making the player lose oxygen and more vulnerable to the player dying.

Trivia

• Despite what some think, Firedamp isn't an entity and is rather a hazard that is dangerous for any item that has ignited.
• Prior to the Content Update, Giggles were not able to spawn in Firedamp rooms.
• A status effect titled "Infiredamp" was a concept for the game, but never got added, this effect would activate when in a fire damp room, but was removed due to it having no mechanic
• Firedamp is a nickname for methane gas, a highly flammable gas appearing in mines from organic materials.
  • Unlike DOORS's version of firedamp, real firedamp is odorless and colorless. This was likely adapted to give players a visual cue for the sake of gameplay.
