Rules
Normal Sudoku
- Fill every row, column, and 3×3 box with the digits 1–9 exactly once.
Fire
- Every cell is either Burning or Safe.
- All Burning cells form one orthogonally connected region.
- All Safe cells form one orthogonally connected region.
- No 2×2 area may be entirely Burning or entirely Safe.
Burning Cells
- Burning cells only contain digits 5–9, except for the two given Burning 4s, which ignited early.
- Safe cells may contain any digit unless restricted by another rule.
Thermometers
- Digits must strictly increase from the bulb to the tip.
- On every thermometer, digits 1–4 remain Safe, while digits 5–9 are Burning.

Great puzzle! Lots of nice incremental steps. Closer to 3* for me.
Thank you, yes I thought it was somewhere between 2 and 3*, had to choose one
