Foam update

Quote from Gooochy

In kent we have a L4P+ATV but in reality its mire like a unimog so should I use a Swap Body Vehicle and Mistibg Vehicle or a L4P

I asked about a similar thing for DSFRS and was told I could use either of your suggestions, but that at some point they wanted to look at a full UK Wildfire / Off-Road Vehicle update (Long after police I'd assume).

Thank you I really appreciate that. I try my hardest to make this the game that I personally would want to play and I try to please everyone as best as I can.

I’m sure a foam H4T is possible

For the ATv’s, honestly I think we could probably get fire fighting ATV’s in the future rather than trying to change the swap body. I just didn’t want to include too much new stuff in what was already a huge content pack.

I believe this is the post your talking about and I will use the misting pod

In DSFRS all front-line pumps carry CAFS, then there are also 3 BFU Pods and 4 F/WrCs stationed across the area too - it seems superfluous to build these larger units as the regular pumps will always fill the foam requirement on scene - is there any scope to look at expanding foam requirements to seperate CAFS appliances from Bulk Carriers in the same way that there is talk of (in the future) expanding rescue into Light / Heavy / USAR etc?

Maybe a system where 2 CAfS pumps = 1 Foam Unit?

But i 100% agree

I was confused when i heard bulk foam and CAFS work the same (foam-wise), but this shows why that's the case quite well.

Also, is there any chance HVP will operate as a Heavy 4x4 water carrier? as opposed to acting as the standard water carrier? (Apologies if this has already been asked)

I would rather it stay like how it is and not act as a pump as it would drive me Mad it being deployed as as fire ebgine in the arrs

somewhere i saw before a version with a POD full of IBC containers. Is that another version of this?

thanks.

I don't know what's inside one of these pods so it might have them. The LFB bulk foam unit has the containers visible on the back.

so this should be a BFU actually?

thanks again.

I would say that is a bfu pod not a bfu

That's definitely a BFU Pod, but the general jist of BFU pods is the one that was linked previously

Hi, don’t know if this has been mentioned but when I had 1 foam extension it was requiring 2 foam vehicles and now I have 2 extensions it needs 3. What’s the point in this? I’m having to send foam units across counties, surely irl one foam unit covers it.

once u get to 3 foam calls need 5

Quite disappointing.

But i think they have to find some balance between content and business tbh -still i donno why are these conflicting .

Btw what needs 3 or 5 exactly?
