When deciding WHERE I want to place a station, I use Google maps to look up the locations of stations in the area I want to build. Then I use the street view setting and the satellite view to see approximately what vehicles those stations have. It's not perfect but it's close. I do also click on the station and look through as much of the user submitted pics as I can. Those will often show what's available. It's not perfect but it's as close as you can get sometimes.

This is a good idea. Years ago, I would have laughed at the idea of adding a private ambulance service as an option to this. But one of the depts I was on needed an ambulance and had to wait for an ambulance from other counties because all of ours were tied up. Didn't take me long to appreciate how nice it would have been to have a private ambo service available there. I currently work on the 911 side at a different fire dept part time and a private ambo service full time. I even have a couple of ambo stations in game that I use as privates. I think your idea has some merit and I fully back it. Now let's hope the devs do too.

I really don’t think it’s possible not to get a mission that requires fire boats or rescue boats if you’ve had them for 6 months. I know they are not common, but with a set up like that you should have gotten some. Hopefully you have at least a few fire stations and the required amount for any mission that requires it or else yea, you won’t get one.

These boats have been traveling on land for ages. And quite frankly I don’t really want them to not do that. Boats are a very good investment to get to a mission quickly, and if that’s not a perk with it I may give them up. Also, the map that this game uses, I doubt has water lines which mean, paths for the boats to take. Because right now all of the roads in the map, are mapped unlike the water ways. It’ll be a challenge to do that with the ocean, lol.

Well I haven't, so I can safely say that it IS possible lol. But I have 65 fire stations, 3 large boat fire stations, 1 ocean rescue station, and 2 fire air stations with 3 aircraft. I also have 4 ambulance stations, 4 air ambulance stations, 7 hospitals, 25 police stations, 4 police air stations, 6 dispatch centers, and 4 academies. I don't know how many of each station are required for boat calls but that's what I have and MOST of them are all in the same town. And I even try hard to keep my locations true to where they are in real life too. Any time I build a new station, I pull up Google Maps and do some digging before I place it. Then when I try to figure out what apparatus to put in that station, I actually click on the station in google maps and go through EVERY pic of that station I see and then get my assets for it in the game. And If I can't get it accurate then I just wing it on best guess lol.

I like a little more realism. It doesn't HAVE to be perfect obviously but a large fireboat crossing land just doesn't sit well with me lol. But I do see your point though. Like if you saw my map, I have ALL of Jacksonville, FL covered (EVERY police and fire station in Duval county with the exception of the FBI) lol. I even have Mayport NS, NAS Jax, JIA, Cecil Commerce Center, and even the ANG base at JIA lol. I don't have EVERY hospital (yet) and I don't have every private ambulance (also YET lol) but I'm good on everything else there. Just about every station and hospital I have in game is in the exact spot where it would be found in real life. A few of my USFS stations are just best guess with the exception of 3 lol.

Just to check that the POI’s that you have placed are within range of the stations that have the expansion.

Also is anyone else having issues with water rescue missions and large boat missions spawning.

I currently have 3 large boat stations and a water rescue station. I have had them for somewhere between 4 and 6 months but I haven't gotten a single mission that uses them yet. I've used them whenever non-water based fire missions pop up on water just so they could get called out. And for some strange reason, they miraculously cross over land instead of staying on the water.

Count yourself lucky to get any missions at all. I have 3 large fire boat stations PLUS a rescue boat station and I have YET to receive missions for any of them in like 4 to 6 months.

Does one of your hangars have 2 Aircraft and the other have 1?

It did and I considered that possibility, so I removed the third aircraft but it still gave me the same message. Is it possible that it's telling me this because I extended the air base to hold 2 aircraft and that extra slot is being counted as a third station?

I would love to see an update that allows for an ALS Intercept. I have some locations where I could use a BLS unit and then send it to any hospital with any patient (just like in real life) and meet an ALS ambulance or even helicopters halfway there and then the higher level unit would take over and complete the run. This option to do intercept would also allow faster turn around from a call. I have quite a few stations where the closest hospital is 15 to 20 mins away.

I don't know. I tried building a third air station but when I selected it, it said I could only have three and it wouldn't let me build the third one even though I only have two.

I was trying to build a fire plane station and it wouldn't let me. It said I could only build three (3). The problem is that I only have two (2). What's the deal here? Did someone make a typo and only two (2) can be built? I went through EVERY fire station I have in my list and there is no third (3rd) fire plane station in the list, nor does one show up on the map. So I'm positive that I only have two.
