First and foremost - I have attempted to find a thread containing this or other vehicle suggestions to no avail. Please point me in the direction of one if it is still active.
Secondly, and the reason for this post: I have found with Dorset and Wiltshire FRS that they tend to use "Operational Support Units (OSU's)" as a kind of combination BASU & Hazmat unit. I was wondering if there was a place for such a vehicle in MCUK? Please let me know your thoughts on this.
YES YES YES WE NEED THIS IN THE GAME!! Several other fire services have this, including lfb
And Bucks
would it be possible to train fire fighters in critical care or hart as some fire services operate these specialist units

Right 1st things first this is a thread about the OSU not training, make your own thread and don't hi-jack other threads second hart is its own division under NARU unrelated to the fire service. the critical care training is effectivly a on call doctor training.

This would probably be better just being an entire new update for Fire instead of merging stuff.
Please keep this on topic.
This is a unit I want to see in the game quite badly. Now we have Welfare units for ambulance, it’s something to develop for fire as well. One of the vehicles for this will be a triple combo unit comprising of an EPU, BASU, and Welfare unit called an OSU. At least that’s my vision for it.

Thank you, and I would love to see that triple unit ingame!

Would the EPU also cover the scope of a hazmat unit? As in Cheshire they basically do the same role as a combo unit.

May I ask what is a epu?
Enviromental Protection Unit
Great idea
It hasn’t been decided on but we do want to make hazmat a little more in depth as it’s currently not realistic, environmental protection will be the main type but obviously you have other vehicle types as well

Would different calls need different types like the dim iru and EPU or will they all work as a hazmat. Cause I can see this breaking some people's realistic setups as some counties don't have every type of hazmat unit.

We will look into the different options to see how it affects gameplay.
Maybe have it on a similar system to the traffic car?

As Vic said, it’s hasn’t been decided on, it maybe just a separation of EPU out from Hazmat and keep Hazmat as the MDD/MDR/DIM etc type units as I know, especially with the DIM, that there are only sometimes 1 per region. Environmental Protection however is something all services will have, from an Environment Agency kit on a pump all the way up to an EPU (although this maybe combined with another vehicle often an OSU)
Would this bit fit more into the Prime Mover and POD system.
That would be a great addition to have in the game.
You could easily have multiple pods
OSU
USAR
Hazmat
Hoses/HVP
Timber
BASU
Foam
There are even pods for wildfire and Polaris beginning to become a reality now as the system is becoming more versatile.
