Yes - what would be the cost - I would say like 200k it comes with 1-2 slots and every brush unit is there
200k per standalone forestry station is pretty steep in my opinion. I would make the same cost as a large fire station (100k).

Co-Admin -
The intention for the unit was to be a sort of co-ordinator for ambulance resources on a scene. Their role is to manage patients rather than treat them - which is the job of the ambulance crews. I'm not 100% sure how it works in the US but in the UK, our OTLs (operational team leader (can go by different names)) don't count as "pairs of hands" like an ambulance crew or response vehicle would.
Typically in the US, the EMS Captain/Supervisor/Chief is the senior medic on shift. They usually can perform specialized patient care/carrying equipment that the normal medics aren't allowed to do/carry. Additionally, they would be in charge of the EMS reports and quality improvement/assurance as well as EMS training that is on shift. They are essentially a BC for the EMS side of things. But if it's a large enough call, the BC would typically be in command. For them being the senior medics, it does not make much sense for them to not treat to a certain extent.

The Education Admin allows the player to start classes in academies that are owned by the alliance. The Finance Admin allows the player to build alliance buildings and set discount rates for donating to the alliance. There may be more, but those are the main ones.

It's not the intended purpose of the unit, it's the usage. The BC is required on a fast amount of calls and rightfully so. The EMS Chief has a few calls ,if that, to where they are required. Overdoses, Cardiac Arrest, Trauma alerts, Structure fires to act as safety, accountability, etc . could be things they could be utilized for. My gripe is the game requires the EMS Chief but has little usage for it at the moment.
But I agree with OP. There could be a revamp of how the units function/are needed. Maybe even with a new developer, we could push for better combo units as well.

Is it possible that the developers will add an update to the heavy rescue where its a heavy rescue+mobile air like heavy rescue+boat as in real life many heavy rescue have a cascade/mobile air unit. I also know that the developers and this game isn't suppose to resemble real life but it would be a nice feature
This would be nice. Would love to see a special ops heavy as well that can act as both a heavy and hazmat unit. Hard to find dedicated single unit responsibilities outside of larger metropolitan areas.

Personally, I like a top-mount pump. Biggest advantage of the top mount is you're out of the road and have 360 degree view of what's happening. You're also out of the way of all the hoses should anything happen.
The biggest disadvantage is the increased potential for injury due to the up & down. Wheelbase and a tight turning radius are important factors. Not only that, it adds a bit of $$$$ to the cost of the vehicle.
All in all, it comes down to personal preference. They all pump water, and have levers and buttons and lights. just depends on what you want.

Good Morning Everyone,
I have kind of kept up with the process of ownership/development being transferred over with mission chief and other versions but where do we stand for suggesting improvements, seeing updates, new features, etc? Are we still in the honeymoon phase of the new ownership getting settled in?
Best Regards,

This would be nice. Could free up my engines for more calls. The truck guys could finally run calls

We strive to be as realistic as possible with station locations, resources, staffing, mutual aid, etc. All admins/area chiefs will take part in helping you obtain info on your area if possible.
The alliance is headquartered in the Denver-Metro but we accept players from all over the world.

Awesome work! Would you happen to have any fire rigs in planning?

Ah, well to me that's a little different scenario, like a rescue ambulance combo unit, at least how I'd see it. I can't imagine a Lt and two FFs for just medicals, so that unit probably also would respond things that would require a rescue truck as well. We used to do similar to that here, Rescues that can transport people as well and would provide EMS. To me though, the solution to this isn't adding a third seat on ALS ambulances, but making another combo unit, Rescue Ambulance, which couples Rescue and ALS, but that opens another can of worms too. Like what happens when the patient clears before the call is finished, etc.
No Rescue. That's just what we call the unit names. Instead of Medic or Ambulance, it's Rescue. But it has no extrication capabilities nor being a rolling toolbox. Basically an ambulance with some irons, a couple packs, and bunker gear other than the normal EMS equipment. Personally for MC, I don't mind either way for the staffing of an ambo. Just spreading the info that we tend to be quite weird in Florida

One LT, two FF's. We may be one of the only areas that do so, but it does for sure happen. We also tend to use all front cab seating as well.

One other thing to keep in mind, when you say they can do everything a patrol can do and more...is that K-9 (or SWAT if it was implemented) would not be able to transport prisoners. Realistically speaking you wouldn't put a perp in the back with the dog, nor would they be put into the back of an armored SWAT van.
With the new set ups for Canine officers, many have a one person cage to transport if need be. SWAT is subjective. Obviously you're not transporting suspects in bearcats but SWAT certified officers running unmarkeds would definitely have the ability to transport.

Move-to-covers are all too common. Many times, being the rig that I'm on
. It would bring a nice aspect to the game! -
Join MIDWEST FIRE AND POLICE
We could use more players and have another player in Florida including myself a little bit.Where abouts are you in FL?

Update: Still looking for an alliance that focuses on realism. I currently am set up in Broward County. Thanks!

I know you won't tell us but these are my guesses in order Lol
1. Pumper Tanker
2. Brush Truck
3. S.W.A.T. Helicopter
4. EMS Training for Fire Apparatus
5. More hospital space with less recovery time
6. Some form of Trailer
7. S.W.A.T RescueI'm not gonna speculate or have false hopes just my guesses is all
EMS training for Fire Apparatus would be great. I'm assuming that the ALS trained unit would treat the patient the same as a fly-car?

Update: Still looking for an alliance in the DC area
