Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
How can I turn those flames off?
1 of 8: They won't die out on their own no matter how long you wait, so they must be getting fed by something.
2 of 8: Listen carefully -- is that the hiss of gas you hear?
3 of 8: It certainly is, so look for a gas-spewing device nearby.
4 of 8: Head to the left and down to the lower rubble floor.
5 of 8: Move into the next room and then look up at what's left of the main floor.
6 of 8: Look around until you see a large white gas canister that's identical to those you may have seen in Ravenholm in the main game.
7 of 8: Notice that it has the same little red wheel on it that can be used to shut off the gas flow -- but only if you can get up there to where it is.
