How many Hot Spots are placed at setup in the Experienced game, and do the difficulty and player-count bonuses stack?
Setup step 11 lists both bonuses, and the step-by-step count follows from it.

Each initial explosion places one Hot Spot: 3 on Recruit and Veteran, 4 on Heroic. Step 11 then adds 3 more on Veteran or Heroic, and 2 with three Firefighters or 3 with four or more. Only one player-count bonus applies, and with two Firefighters none does. The difficulty and player-count bonuses stack, so Veteran with six Firefighters starts with 9 Hot Spots. A roll that lands on an existing Hot Spot is rerolled.
