Advice

    After having had a bit of a break I’m back to playing and noticed a few changes. Can someone give me some advice on the three new fire units that have appeared, Pumper Tanker, Crew Carrier & Crew cab semi. What do they do and are they worth having?


    Also what does all the new EMS stuff do? Do I need them or am I good with my ALS Ambulances & EMS Chiefs.


    I’ve already discovered I need some Sheriffs and presumably there’s missions available if I build a federal station and get FBI?


    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not sure how long you've been away, but it sounds like for quite some time.


    I believe there have been a lot of new packages brought out since then, off the top of my head:

    - Fire Prevention (Details of which are available here:

    https://xyrality.helpshift.com…-are-available-us-version

    - EMS Content Pack (EMS Mobile Command, Mass Casualty, EMS Operations Support)

    - Foam Content (Foam Extension, Foam Trailers and Foam Requirements)

    - Bushfire/Forestry/Wildfire - Details of which are available here:

    https://xyrality.helpshift.com…-are-available-us-version

    - Federal Police


    Here is a bit of a change log going back to June:

    The Pumper-Tanker was introduced as a combination unit, dual-purpose on calls as both a pumper (aka an Engine) and a Water Tanker.


    With this update, you'll also notice some calls now have a water requirement (ie, the call requires X gal of water to be present). Water Tankers carry more than Pumper-Tankers.


    Crew Carrier is a support vehicle, basically used to increase manpower on a call, to help speed up the call.


    Crew Cab semi requires operators have a Commercial Drivers License, it allows you to pull heavy-duty trailers such as a Dozer trailer for bushfire.

    Also what does all the new EMS stuff do? Do I need them or am I good with my ALS Ambulances & EMS Chiefs.

    EMS Chiefs have been enhanced, they can now auto-release ALS Ambulances to a hospital, this must be set individually for each EMS Chief within the vehicle settings.


    New vehicles include:

    EMS Mobile Command: This vehicle is required on calls with 25 or more patients, shortly after release, a change occurred which will allow you to train personnel in EMS Mobile Command not be specifically staff the Command vehicle. (IE, an EMS Chief with EMS Mobile Command trained personnel can cover a requirement for a call with 25+ patients).


    EMS Operations Support: This is operational support vehicle, it is increase in manpower, and like the crew carrier for Fire calls, it will help speed up patient treatment & release or transport.


    Large Ambulance Stations now have an extension to Mass Casualty, which will allow mass casualty trailers to be pulled. These trailers can attend the scene of a large patient event and treat multiple patients and releasing those who can be released or handing off to an ambulance for transport.


    Tactical Ambulance: Tactical Medics are ambulance that go into high-risk police tactical scenarios to treat, extract and transport patients. In MissionChief, these vehicles act as both the ALS Ambulance requirement and Patrol Car (non-transporting) requirement. Tactical Medic Training is required for this,


    HAZMAT Ambulance: (aka CBRN Medics) are ambulances that go into chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) situations with specifically trained paramedics who can go into a hazardous material/CBRNE situation to treat, extract, decontaminate and transport patients. In MissionChief these vehicles act as both HAZMAT and ALS Ambulance requirements. HazMat training (through a Rescue Academy) is required.


    ALS Rescue Ambulance acts as an HRV & ALS Ambulance on scene.


    EMS Fire Engine/Ambulance acts as a Pumper and Ambulance on scene. This requires ALS Medical Training for Fire Apparatus from the Rescue Academy.


    NEW BUILDING: Rescue Academy, which can now train EMS special training.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sheriff's are required units, they are like Police Supervisory units and are required on numerous calls.


    FBI/Federal Police is a new building that you can deploy for specialised Fedpol missions, the units available are:

    - FBI Unit

    - FBI Investigation Wagon

    - FBI Mobile Command Centre (requires FBI Mobile Centre Commander training)

    - FBI Bomb Technician Vehicle (requires FBI Bomb Technician training)

    - FBI Surveillance Drone (requires FBI Drone Operator training).


    FBI Surveillance Drone is not required on any call as of yet, however can be used in place of FBI Investigation Wagon on specific calls.


    Hope this helps.


    Cheers,

    Quick question on the above and to refresh my memory. Will a Pumper Tanker cover the requirement for both a firetruck and a water tanker if sent?

    Also, I seem to recall that a quint would cover a firetruck and aerial appliance and a mobile command would also cover a battalion chief, or are my brain cells deteriorating?

    You are correct.


    There are numerous vehicles that can act as dual-purpose in this way:


    FIRE

    Quint - Engine and a Platform

    Rescue Engine - Engine and an HRV

    Mobile Command - Batallion Chief and MCV

    Pumper-Tanker - Engine and Water Tanker

    Type 3 Engine - Structure Engine and Bushfire Engine

    Fire Investigation Unit - Fire Prevention and Patrol Car (transporting)


    EMS

    EMS Rescue - HRV and an EMS Fly-Car

    HAZMAT Ambulance - HAZMAT and ALS Ambulance

    EMS Fire Engine/Ambulance - Firetruck and ALS Ambulance

    Tactical Ambulance - Patrol Car (non-prisoner transporting) and ALS Ambulance

    EMS Mobile Command - EMS Chief and EMS Mobile Command

    ALS Rescue Ambulance - HRV and ALS Ambulance


    POLICE

    K-9 Unit - Patrol Car (non-transporting) and K-9

    SWAT SUV - Patrol Car and SWAT

    Sheriff - Patrol Car and Sheriff



    Courtesy of manfromcny:

    If you do use the hazmat ambo - you will need to train at least one other person in Hazmat- most call need 4 staff- the ambo only carries 3 .

    And be careful of the ambo combos- they might transport before the call is completed- then you will need an additional unit to finish the call




    I think I got them all.


    Cheers,

    i was aware - but since EMS-Chief had consolidated for Wispa i was just trying to complete the list

    Appreciate it! I added your details to my post to give a full picture!

    EMS Fire Engine/Ambulance acts as a Pumper and Ambulance on scene. This requires ALS Medical Training for Fire Apparatus from the Rescue Academy. just how does this work if you have them for an als station but classes for them are only for fire stations? is there a class for als-ALS Medical Training for Fire Apparatus not fire-ALS Medical Training for Fire Apparatus

    Game Warden Acts as a patrol car

    Heavy Rescue + Light Boat = Rescue and light boat (clue in the name XD)

    In my game the game wardens do NOT function as a patrol car. I know this because whenever there is a GW call that requires transport I have to send a police car

    The Rescue Acadamy is for the Ambulance stations. The "ALS Medical Training for Fire Apparatus" is available in both the Rescue Acadamy and the Fire Acadamy.
