**PROS:** - High Damage - Good Knockback *(vs other axes)* - Very Accurate - Noiseless

**CONS:** - Short Reach - Low Move Speed Penalty

**TACTICS:** While powerful enough to kill a zombie with one strike and possessing a decently fast strike, the Fire Axe suffers from being limited to melee range, which almost guarantees that zombies will be able to get a strike in before its wielder can. ***Recommended gear: ***- Vest

**BACKGROUND:** A heavy cutting implement used by firemen to break down jammed doors and windows, allowing them to enter or exit burning rooms. The fire brigade may be long gone now, but their tool of choice remains a touted favourite amongst survivors, as it has easily re-adapted to its medieval roots with great effect. An emergency tool found in most public buildings and fire departments.
