The EMS academy can train individuals in HazMat (for HazMat Ambulance); Tactical Medic (for tactical ambulance); EMS Mobile Command (Needed for larger missions, don't remember the patient count; ALS Medical Training for Fire Apparatus (for EMS Fire Engine/Ambulance); and Truck Driver's license (Needed for semi to tow large MCI Trailers which require their own expansion). These same classes are able to be taught at a Fire Academy, but can only be used to teach personnel at fire stations.

Clinics act the same as hospitals except that they can't get all the same expansions, are limited to only 10 patients max and have 2 pre-built bays for any unit you can get at an ambulance station. The patient transfer mission will automatically have the sent ambulance take the patient to the nearest hospital.

The EMS Rescue is a fly-car/Heavy Rescue so it can't transport patients on its own. The Tactical/Hazmat ambulances, and EMS Engine/Ambulance are great in that they give more versatility to the unit, however at least with the first two they don't get dispatched as part of an ALS ARR which can make them tricky. They also can leave you short-staffed on scene as they also could for the other half of their unit as well.

EMS Mobile Command isn't needed anymore. When it first came out it acted in a similar manner as Fire Command vehicles. Now you can just give the same training to EMS Chief personnel to get the same result.

Yes, regular patrol cars are still good to keep in my opinion since they are 1/3 the cost.

It can, however it depends on what the scene requires. Some scenes require a certain number of personnel with certain trainings, it doesn't matter what unit they are on as long as they are on scene.

The Fire Crew Carrier will speed up mission completion since the more personnel on scene speeds it up somewhat.

EMS Additions to fire stations count as ambulance stations for both mission spawning and MCI/EMS Support numbers (Able to get 1 of each every 20 EMS stations).

An EMS Academy would be worth it *only if you have standalone ambulance stations*. If you have combination Fire/EMS stations, then just use the fire academy, it has the same lessons but you cannot teach stand-alone EMS personnel.

Don't buy the building complex

Costs around 200 to 300 dollars of coins to fully expand bases the min of 5 bases , spend 1 mill to expand them into a complex per building just for asthestics

Quote from Jake W.

I have 2 but not sure they are worth having anymore as I guess you can have a Building Complex now.

What you could do is just leave them as basic ambulance stations and then train the people from the combined stations so you at least have some specialized EMS staff without spending as much money just for 2 standalone stations.

If you have ambo extensions in your fire stations, then no.

TBH the only EMS training you really have to have is EMS Command and you can just train your Battalion Chiefs to fill that role.

Actually train EMS chiefs in that so you can do auto transports

EMS chief can auto assign hospitals to EMS vehicles with out training. It's a simple setting just above the graphic buttom.

Yes but calls require 2 staff of ems mobile command training but the mobile command needs to carrys 6 and is more expensive to buy so might as well use the ems chief
