I think it would help out quite a bit if we could transfer Vehicles to stations. Lets say an engine from a station is at a large incident and they are the only engine in the area. So you send another engine from another station to take its place in that station until the engine on the incident returns.

Are you talking about Staging Areas?

I've been in the fire service yes. But I've always known it as Duty Crews, Cover Assignments or Regional Covers.

This has been discussed in many prior threads. As I’ve said, I would LOVE if this was an in-game feature. Sadly, the best I can offer you right now is the Staging Area. Hopefully some of my fellow moderators will jump on this idea with me in pitching it to the developer.

Its a good idea, i will bring it up but i will get the upcoming updates out the way first, in the meantime i recommend using staging areas or buy an extra vehicle slot at the station and move a vehicle there when needed

Piggy backing on this, I’ve added an expansion to some stations that I want to be able to transfer an engine to for a cover assignment. The issue that comes up is the unit is unavailable while transferrring. I can see where staffing is an issue, where the people assigned to that unit do no transfer to the new station.
But like first mentioned, a temporary relocate with an automatic canceling would be awesome. Not sure how that could be done.

Adding onto MDarlings comment, Would it be possible to redirect a unit that is transferring to and from a station under it's own tab similar to a follow-up tab as if it were available?
And that would be a good idea to automatically transfer staff alongside the unit during transfer.

you can already do that

Thats moving the whole station. What is being requested is fill ins due to big incidents requiring multiple units. The issue now is, when you do move a unit from one station to another, the personnel doesn't go with the unit, so you have to reassign personnel once the unit arrives at fill in station. Plus you have to build another bay just to have a fill in attend. Hope this makes sense.

No it's not moving the whole station, it's moving that unit that I selected from the station.
-
Click on a unit, then where it says their station it should say move, click that move button and you can move that unit to different stations.

What hawker means is temporarily moving the unit. The method you are suggesting is a “permanent” transfer.
-
If you move just the unit, the personnel assigned to that unit will not go with it. You have to re-assign personnel to unit once it gets to fill in station.
