Change Fire Alarm System mission modifier to separate mission "Box alarm"

    I noticed today that there's some missions that come in as, for example, Residential Fire (Fire Alarm System) or something similar to that. To make the game more realistic, I think that having the mission read "Box alarm" as a separate mission with multiple different variants that can evolve into fires or simply stay as a box alarm.


    In other words, mission comes in as a box alarm, requires 1 engine and 1 ladder, and can evolve into a residential fire, drug lab fire, high rise fire, etc.


    To me, this makes more sense because most of the time when we are dispatched to a box alarm, its nothing but has the chance to turn into a fire, but you as the player would not know what call would be coming as a result of that.

    In my opinion, a box alarm call only works for certain cities. While the existing "Unknown Structure Fire" call better encapsulates an option for all cities/setups.


    I read the Fire Alarm System modifier as a corporate alarm monitoring company making the call as opposed to an actual RP.

    You are correct Alasizon


    The "Fire Alarm System" is a mission modifier to indicate that an alarm was sent by a direct connect/open access type of system (automated notified to the fire department on alarm activation).


    These missions may result in being cancelled upon arrival ("False Alarm").
