Fire Fountain City is a large, industrial city located in the Fire Nation. It is named for the large, fire-breathing statue of Fire Lord Ozai in its center. It is located on one of the many islands in the eastern half of the Fire Nation.
The city is one of the many industrial towns in the Fire Nation that supports the war effort. Many factories are located in the city, and pollution is extensive. The city is a working class town with very seedy elements. It is considered unsafe to walk around Fire Fountain City at night, so most citizens stay indoors.

[edit] History
The city was once named North Chung-Ling but was changed to Fire Fountain City due to the fire fountain of which they are known for.
This is the city in which Aang and the others stop in the episode, "The Runaway." While on a walk around town Toph suggests that they get more money, by scamming the scammers on the streets. The Dealer at a game of chance takes away the pebble from under the shell at the end so that no one can win. Toph uses her earthbending and keeps the pebble under the shell. She then guesses correctly and wins. After that the trio continue to scam people at a game of Chance Sticks, and also at a carnival where she uses her earthbending to ding the bell on the Bell and Hammer game. They then gain a lot of money. After Sokka finds a wanted poster for Toph, Katara and Toph pull off the scam of all scams. They get Toph captured by the Police as a hope to get the bounty. The Town Authority locks both the girls up and puts them in a wooden cage. He then hands them over to Combustion Man.
[edit] Locations
[edit] Fire Fountain
A giant statue of Fire Lord Ozai with his head tilted back and fire gushing from his hands and mouth like water would from a "normal" fountain. The piece is so famous and incredibly moving to any Fire Nation citizen that the town officially changed its name. However, after the end of the War, it is unknown what became of the statue.
[edit] Post Office
This is one of many communication hubs in the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom. Messenger Hawks are trained to fly on designated routes between different post offices. Outside the post office is a bulletin board where the Town Authority hangs fliers and wanted posters.
While walking through the town, Sokka notices the Messenger Hawks and expresses his want of having one. After he gets money from all the scamming, he goes to the Post Office and buys Hawky, a new member of Team Avatar.
[edit] Fair
This fair is very popular, and is permanently there, not a travelling one. It has stalls selling things, and lots of tents and a big game where you test your strength by hitting a target with the hammer and seeing how far the bell goes up. This hammer, though, is not for children and is very heavy to lift. Toph visited this fair when she scammed the owner of the game using Earthbending in The Runaway.
