So would be nice to have the ability to just treat I have recently started expanding in to socal and many departments use Medic Engines (the crew contains atleast 1 trained FF/PM) these units don’t transport by them self. If anything if they just made the ALS Medical training for Fire apperatus count for allowing a unit to function as a fly car it would be nice (this does not need to a equipment add on or an extension just an option for realism that if a person on the unit is trained (sort of like the Critical Care training on the UK version (the training is not required to make a unit work but if the crew is trained it allows the unit to treat critical care patients (look at the UK forum))) (it’s complicated)

And also all of RCF’s frontline engines and trucks are medic engines/ medic trucks

So the concept of a Medic Engine (in socal) is the crew has atleast one person that is a trained paramedic it does not mean that the unit can transport

BLS and ALS are 2 separate levels simply put ALS level calls are cardiac and other high acuity calls

It’s a typo I. The coding it’s swift water u need

He is thinking about an option to allow the EMS Engine/Ambulance to transport or just act like a fly car (I am guessing they mean like a BLS Upgradable (IE requires a fly car (or other equivalent unit) or ALS Ambulance to fully treat a patient))

So with the update to the police stations (that big one with the ten slots for units and jail cells, the k-9 carrier, detection unit, federal and bomb squad) (if I just clumped like a few into one my bad) I have been confused by the use of the federal police units that can be acquired and their practical use in the local/state police force (except the bomb squad that’s self explanatory) but the FBI Investigation Wagon and the FBI surveillance drone if someone could explain their use in the local/state police that would be great

The county LF’s have quints only one I can’t confirm is LF 170

Um in my department we had (has since been sold) atleast 1 (in my time maybe more from when I was younger as my on senior people have know me since I was like 3) engine with a 10 person max capacity and our current rescue has 10 seats (not a walkthrough FYI) and our tower when we bought in has 8 (since reduced to 6 like our other ladder) (both quints) but one of our neighbors had a straight truck that had room for atleast 6(since replaced by a quint) thinks this is uncommon the FDNY Runs 6 MAN Trucks

I had that USAR tech rescue problem yesterday wish I had saw this before then

On this it now wants 6 in a rig with both SAR and TR equipment assigned so most of my units that carry them can’t go out unless I drop one of the equipment is this a bug or some new feature

The only thing that was wrong with the changes to the max capacity was the type 2 being given the same capacity as the type 1 now I am no expert on the difference between the two (mainly cause the only information I have is on specs for the pump tank and hose load) but also cause I don’t believe that a department actually runs a type 2 where I am from, but yes the increased crew capacity should be brought back just don’t increase it off what it is set to currently (ie 6 stays at 6 and not bumped to 10)

Some thing not really minor (this first one was totally overlooked) and that is the air light truck the mobile air should be able to carry the light tower equipment (four examples LA (City and County) Ventura County and SMFR

2 add a off road rescue vehicle for EMS stations and expansion (these are used to remove victims from areas that normal ambulances can’t reach and would go great for making some calls more realistic

3 add a vent fan it’s odd the some servers have gotten this and the US server has not

Can not seem to get on the game right now

If I am not mistaken the welfare unit (UK Server unit) performs the same role as a rehab unit and is able to be purchased at either a HART base or a fire station (HART is Hazardous Area Responce Team and is an ambulance thing) might also be available in ems stations, so it’s feasible I guess to put a rehab unit in

This is the US Fourm not the UK Wong server ILB is Inshore Lifeboat, ALB is All Weather Lifeboat

On LSMs every time one of us in my alliance send a lifeguard unit it’s not registered as be on site once arrived

In my county alone there is way more departments that don’t have a ladder truck then those who do (like most towns have like 1-2, but a few of the towns are are not a unified single fire department but rather 2 or more departments that jointly cover one town. And in my own battalion only 3 departments out of 6 have the 5 trucks in the entire battalion (which covers 4 towns (there’s some weird boarders that were drawn by the membership of the departments as we are all volunteer (well mostly))) Monroe County, NY is where I am from

Well I will admit that while yes “some” places have these in the US they are rare (good examples are NYC and Philadelphia) (Philly included as an example here) (and they are about as rare as the EMS Engine/Ambulance) but is a good idea that even I myself has brought it up in a small group conversation between myself and others in my Department about a year ago discussing the need of a capability provided by one of our rescues and how to get more use out of a truck we very rarely use, but we agreed that there was still need for said capability and how to increase the chances that it gets on the raid when needed I fell like I am ranting so I will stop there

So It has come to my attention that these units have a dual function (according to their description) but do they actually work as such or is the description a false statement
