Required Units Confusion

  • Hello,


    I recently added the Battalion Chief vehicle to my fleet and noticed some missions have it marked as a required unit. "Manhole Fire" is the one that made me think to get a Battalion chief unit, but the mission is able to be completed with the 2 fire trucks. As I tried to find the best way to deploy the Battalion Chief unit I was dispatched to "Smoke Investigation". I sent the Battalion Chief unit as it was on the required truck list, but it still said I needed a firetruck.

    Is there a way to make this more intuitive? Maybe a way to show which units are able to complete the call on their own and which units can assist the call to go faster.


    I hope this makes sense!

  • You need ALL of the units on the required list to complete the call. For example, the Smoke Investigation call needs an engine, ladder, AND battalion to complete them. (Or a Quint and a Battalion for more advanced players)

    I have been doing the calls that require the Battalion Chief without him. Here's an example on a Smoke Investigation call.

  • How many stations do you currently have? The Battalion Chief isn’t required to complete calls until you’ve built your 6th Fire Station, so my best guess is that you have yet to reach that point.

    Ah that would make sense! I have 2 stations.


    Edit: I created my 3rd station today and now Smoke Investigation is requiring the Platform Truck. It has made those particular calls a lot more complex!
