I was wondering if we could get the Rescues to handle all types of MVCs. I find it frusterating that a Rescue can't. In america most areas send a Rescue on all PIs not just an engine If i have a lot of major incidents where a lot of my engines are busy but I have a Rescue close o well doesn't matter. Also say you sent a Rescue to a tree in the road and it turns into a MVC now you just wasted time and a unit for nothing.
Rescues Handeling All Motor Vehicle Accidents

A lot of times we send both, usually so that the engine can block the road off
-
I Agree with that. However if the situation arises a Rescue can handle any PI unless with auto fire. I think it would be more realistic for the game.

I don't know just how true that is, but I do know that it is standard to send an engine to all PIs. So I don't know if you should be able to complete a Road Accident with a rescue and no engine. You can absolutely send both to the call, but we're not going to make it a requirement to have both.

What about rescue engines then maybe kill two birds with one stone?
-
We're looking into that idea.

I feel like Rescues can handle many of the calls that Engines can such as tree on a person, MVAs, and wire down calls. I'd also like to see Trucks be able to handle tree down and CO calls. They would have the tools necessary to deal with those things, at least in my experience.

We also need a pump rescue, (a HRV and A pump) in one
-
In my department we usually send the engine and a medic only and that is usually good enough we have the equipment we need on the engine for most extracations. If we need more we would get our ladder and then maybe if we need more special equipment we will use our rescue (out of the three times a year we use it).
Modern American fire engines are being made to be more flexible to handle a variety of emergencies without sending extra resources.
