    Are Crew Carriers working now? I forked out for one a while back and found that it did nothing.

    i believe crew carriers are only really good for wildland fires - like a hot shot crew, i havent seen them speed up regular calls

  • Rescue/Ambulance leaving scene early

    Hi,


    I have the same issue. I think it appears when there is an EMS Chief on scene with automatic assignment for patients. I noticed that sometimes even Battalion chiefs, engine or patrol cars leave the scene without a reason.

    it would happen to me without either EMS chief or EMS command unit being present

  • Rescue/Ambulance leaving scene early

    i actually dot have the EMS standdown activated, and in any case the Rescue/ambo will leave the scene with patients still needing an ambo, and any unit treating with the ambo will als leave the scene, needing to send it back for mission completion

  • Rescue/Ambulance leaving scene early

    I have notices that the Rescue/Ambulance when finished with its current patient- will automatically leave the scene, and if there was a unit assisting in treatment it will leave also- even if there are more patients that need an ambulance/ and/or the call still needing completion(in the case of the assisting unit) - has this been noticed by anyone else? And no there is not a EMS chief/command unit at all the missions to auto send to the hospital - the rescue /ambo iv never seen transport

    So what are the best options to use then for the money spent?

    basically this - type 3 can function as both a regular engine and wildland engine - type 4 has the larger water capacity for missions that require a specific amount of water, the rest are more or less for realism - so my advice is get a mixture of t-3 and t-4

    Quote from MDFireEnthusiast

    You may have your aircraft wrong- the C-17 can carry 1 M1 (you were right there), and the C-5 can carry 2. The C-130 cannot carry an M1 as it is smaller than the C-17 and its cargo hold cannot accommodate an M1. The hold of a C-130 is about 40 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 9 feet high. A quick look at the internet says that the average fire engine is about 35 feet long, 9 feet wide, and 9 feet high. It would be a tight fit- and platform trucks wouldn’t fit, as they’re taller and often longer. Now, let’s look at the C-17. At 88x18x12.5, we could fit 2 type 1 fire engines or a single aerial aboard. That’s still not much on a fire where airlifting apparatus is necessary, impressive as it is. So now we turn to the C-5- at 121x13.5x19, it’ll be possible to fit 3 type 1 engines or 2 smaller aerials. Obviously very few departments have access to aircraft capable of lifting a single fire engine, and there are VERY few situations where airlifting apparatus makes sense. I’d would be fun to have, but I don’t think it makes sense for us to add.

    Cargo can be accessed at both ends of the aircraft. It has a maximum payload capacity of 130 t. It can carry two M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks, or 7-10 8×8 armored vehicles (Stryker or LAV-25), or 16 HMMWVs.Mar 8, 2021 .... from a google search
