I was thinking that medical emergencies should be able to be completed by mobilising a fire engine because in the UK and other countries such as America have a co-response system where medical emergencies are attended by the Fire service so I think it maybe a good idea if you could do that in the game would save us credits rather than having to build an Ambulance station. does anyone else agree ?

Man, I have been preaching this for a long time! Have fire department equipment respond to medical calls along with EMS. If no transport is needed, then FD can complete the call and EMS can cancel...

exactly its makes sense!

I agree. This American Based Fire Service Game, needs to actually be based on what we do in America. Most of the time in my area the fire department beats the ambulance by a good 2-3 minutes, sometimes longer if the EMS service is busy. In my county there are 16 ambulance stations, 14 are covered 24 hours, and 2 in the rural area are volunteer, there are at least 2 EMS Supervisor on 24/7 (I think that total is actually higher but I just moved out here so i'm not sure) I would have rather had Training in the School for FF's to be EMT's, or have an EMS Supervisor of the helicopter I will never purchase. I think it's time we take to the Mission Chief Facebook page. That seems to be the only REMOTE place they even look at our suggestions.

Well said DoctorWho. Our suggestions aren't being heard or read...Instead of bringing more vehicles in, I think it needs to be changed to operate more like the U.S first. Also, yes the fire department act as first responders, because EMS can have extended ETAs. I know at least from my experiences. We could be on scene for 10 minutes sometimes before EMS arrives, because they are swamped with calls and we may be getting a truck from another base....And I work for a city department with EMS trucks normally based a few minutes from us.
