Hey! I know I’ve already requested ATVs, but I thought of another interesting unit- rehabs and canteens! Rehabs and canteens are units that are critical to larger events- they don’t play an active role in rescue or fire suppression, but they do support the firefighters involved with massive operations. Rehabs are units (usually converted buses) which typically contain medical staff and some basic amenities. They perform tasks ranging from a simple check-up to deciding if the firefighter needs to see a doctor. They provide basic medical treatment for heat-related illness, smoke inhalation, and other common fireground injuries or ailments. In short, they’re critical vehicles on large fires. Canteens are effectively food trucks- they provide food and drink to firefighters responding to large events. They’re not glamorous, but these units would definitely increase the realism of the game, especially for those who strive to produce an exact replica of their region.
Add Rehab/Canteen Units

Would love to see something like this, however, I don't see any way they could be used in-game unless they add an actual rehab requirement on Large Events.

Implementation would definitely be interesting.

I would often get a Type 2 Engine (T2 for continuity) and name it a Rehab or Canteen Unit. While in-game it's obviously a fire engine, I figured by adding one extra Engine (in-game) it gets the missions done a little faster, simulating a rehab assignment or unit. And it can be used on any call you might send a rehab, but the game in the future might not. I also would exclude it from AAR's.

I have my canteens as mobile air units. That way I have more air units, which are scarce, and the canteen acts like a regional air truck.

That's also a good one. I hadn't thought of that, and they do perform a similar role on the fireground. It's not 100 accurate, but it does represent the mission well enough! Thanks!
