The Fire Tower is an unconstructable tower in Age of Empires II HD: The Forgotten. It is only available in the Scenario Editor and appears in a few campaign scenarios. Its unique feature is that it spews constant fire streams, like the Dragon Ship, Fire Ship, and Flamethrower.

Trivia[]
- Technically, the Fire Tower is now the only building to deal melee damage. The Bombard Tower deals pierce damage since The Conquerors.
- Fire Towers have 1 tile blast radius, but since their primary projectiles have 0% accuracy, no unit actually takes damage from them. They also have 2 secondary projectiles with 100% accuracy but no attacks which deal area of effect damage. In short, the Fire Tower has very low DPS.
- The minimum range of Fire Towers is not eliminated by Murder Holes.
