Appears the same changes from the AU version made it to the US version as well...
The wildfire missions no longer require the spawning station to have a forestry extension which is extremely irritating.
Wildfire Mission Changes

can confirm that the developers confirmed this when asked.

I guess I dont understand the reasoning provided for AU as the airport missions still require the spawning station to have the airport extension.
Very frustrating to get wildfires downtown.
-
i feel you im getting bushfires 800+ km from the nearest expansion
-
I have asked for this to be reverted to the generating station being a wildfire expanded station, I'll let you know if/when we get a response.
-
I agree or at the very least it should be dependent on the distance setting of the dispatch centre because 800+ km is ridiculous.

In my opinion it spawning off wildfire stations is more realistic as in real life there wouldn't be a wildfire unit where wildfires don't happen E.g downtown sedney. There would be a wildfire unit in a area we're wild fires happen.

Agree as I have had wildland fires spawn in the middle of a City where I know there is nothing but buildings and high rises. I guess it is similar to having water missions spawn where there is no water. Have been informed before that the "game" can not determine land or water...

Frustrating to send brush trucks dozens of miles out of their designated area into downtown St. Louis for wildfires. I'm not concerned with the game spawning wildfires because it doesn't recognize rural areas, but keeping them in the general vicinity of where I have brush trucks (for good reason) would be great.
-
I have re-escalated this concern to the devs for both the US and AU versions.

Thank you, this is very annoying hiw they have done it without even telling us or asking us first

I agree with you 100%. When that happens to me I either delete the mission, finish it with coins or just leave it and let it expire in 48.

The devs have communicated back to us indicating that the logic has been restored back to the prior behaviour.
Only stations with the Wildfire/Bushfire Extension will generate the missions.
This should eliminate the occurrence of wildbush/bushfire missions occurring in heavy urban areas or hundreds of kilometers away from a wildfire/bushfire station.
This was confirmed for both the US and AU versions.
