EMS mobile command/advice going forward

  • Hi, I am sort of new to the game, I have been playing for about a month and I was just wondering at what point should I invest in training people for EMS mobile command? Here are my current statistics! My main 2 dispatch centers have 29(fire stations, 13 or so ambulance/ems) but I also have rural departments that surround these with about 7 extra stations, currently, I am in a small but realistic alliance where we each cover cities/counties and currently I am in about 4 or 5. This is in southeastern Virginia for context, now let me get back to my point. When should I train people for ems mobile command? I have also heard you can put them in BC cars, is this true? and finally, how should I scale my operation? Do you suggest I go for more Fire stations or go more ems? (Also I have 4 stations, sorry I am really tired and trying to include everything). I also cover 2 airports and I am starting to expand into more military stuff for ARFF operations and the VDOF(Forestry/brush). Sorry for rambling but any help would be appreciated!!

  • Hello, once you have reached 10 EMS stations that are connected to one dispatch center, you will be capable of spawning missions that require an EMS Chief as you will have more than 10 patients. I would suggest you train 2 EMS Mobile Command to go into your EMS Chief, although it is not required. Doing this from the start will save you so much headache down the road.

  • Thank you for the advice, I think I am going to start training now and then add on more EMS. I am currently working on putting a volunteer EMS department in my setup. Currently I only have 3 stations but I am working on it as I have a private ems in my main area. All of these are within an hour from top to bottom and I have 2 cities where I have a fair amount of coverage. Do you think I should go for more fire stations or instead venture out more into the EMS world or get a few more Fire stations first? (Also not I am probably going to do separate EMS on top of FD when I will fully finish my setup as I hear that is the best way to go).
