ARFF Equipment

Quote from Boxgamer103

I would love to see ARFF equipment added into the game. this would allow engines, utilities, ladders, rescues, and other units to carry ARFF equipment. this would require at least 2 trained ARFF trained personnel. All the airports i know run more than just "ARFF Units" (Crash Trucks) many run rescues, commands, ladders, utilities, and other units to assist ARFF operations. This equipment will allow all of the airport units to be used for ARFF purposes and still keep realistic standards if you want to play that way. (ARFF equipment does not add foam)

Not a bad idea, but they also need to adjust/fix the requirements for a large portion of those ARFF missions at the same time. Not even the largest airports in the country/world have that many ARFF units on duty and staffed on any given day

i dont think they are too bad, Philadelphia International has 7 crash trucks, 1 mini pumper, 1 quint, 2 utility's, 4 command units, 2 EMS rescue, and im sure im missing things but giving these ARFF equipment that would go from 7 to 17 units able to be used for ARFF instead of just the crash trucks making the missions feasible.

Here is an examples. That response would wipe all every engine company from almost 3 counties in Northern Virginia and require all ARFF trucks from both Washington National and Dulles (33 miles apart)

I think this is a very good idea. I am a legacy player from the original game and my set up is all UK, predominantly Scotland and there is no airport here which would even have 8 ARFF units ready to go at any time, well firefighting capable units anyway.

i would love to see this, im trying to keep my airport as realistic as possible, and they have 4 crash (arff) trucks. some missions, like the burst tire require 6 ARFFs, and i dont ever see myself having that many. it would be cool to see ARFF equipment for heavy rescues, or maybe just tweak the call requirements.
