I would love to see something added to assist in POIs

I came up with an idea today to make POI maps downloadable, very similar to graphic packs someone can make a POI map that can be shared and imported to someone's game, from there you can stack downloads and add your own POIs. this could also be used as community efforts to make maps for cities. x amount of people work on their own districts of NYC for example you can get a good POI map in quicker time. its not an amazing solution for POIs but defiantly would work as a community.

Pardon my ignorance, but Type 1, Type 3, rescue engine, pumper tanker, and quints all carry 25 gallons of foam already, correct? Is there a need, short of a major hazmat incident, to have that much foam onsite IRL? I'd rather send either a foam tender or trailer to anything that needs a lot, but I'm in an alternate universe with my setup.

many places have a shortage of foam tenders, they are not too commonly typically only 1 or 2 in the average major city, some large industrial complexes have them but smaller industrial sites typically have Chemical or Foam engines, these are just engines that have CAFs to turn their tank into foam. in most of America foam tenders are not the most common thing, CAFS would allow average departments to handle the random CBNR calls that MC likes to give.

So, ultimately the request is to be able to add the Foam Tank Equipment to

Type 1 Pumpers, Type 2 Pumpers, Type 3 Pumpers, Type 5 Pumpers, Type 6 Pumpers, Type 7 Pumpers, Rescue Engines and Quints?

Note: This is already an available equipment add-on for Pumper Tankers.

yes that could be an alternate to my idea that would work, but the CAFs system would be x amount of water = x amount of foam. id be happy with either or but foam tank equipment i think of actual tanks no a foam system. which ever the devs are more likely to add, id be happy with both to get more foam equipped trucks.

Quote from ChiefBoden61

not a bad idea as long as it does not become a "required" type of equipment to clear an incident

i wouldnt see a reason for it to be required its not a specialty, just extra foam to supply on missions that need foam

The CAFS (Compressed Air Foam System) converts tank water into foam used for firefighting. This would be a very useful equipment that can be utilized to equip units with more foam without needing a tanker or trailer to do it. CAFS would be able to be applied to Type 1-7 Engines, Rescue Engines, Quints & Pumper Tankers

Rehab and RIT both assist fire/EMS operations. this would make the game more "advanced" and a little more technical if you wanted to use the equipment and training.

Rehab

Rehab units assist Fire & EMS on long term operations. Rehab is designated to providing food, drinks, and other basic life need like a restroom. These can be dedicated units that look like food trucks commonly called Rehab or Canteen units. a lot of areas also have units to assist in rehab with equipment, these are commonly Rescues, utilities, chiefs, platform, and larger ambulances.

RIT

RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) job is to go after firefighters in danger. RIT training should be required in groups of 4 depending on the call size, smaller structure fires (Commercial, Warehouse, drug lab) should require 4, medium (high-rise, hotel, hospital) should require 8, Large (CBNR, Chemical plant) should require 12. If you don't have RIT trained personnel you shouldn't be able to get these mission variants but theses variants will pay more

BOXGAMER103 THANKS AND IS THE WRECK THE ONLY ONE U ARE DOING OR ARE U GOING TO DO THE BIGGER VERISON OF IT

right now i have the small wreaker and the flat bed, ill add the fire and police wreaker soon

i have a pack "generic Graphic Pack" its a work in progress kinda working backwards doing newest units first

Updated tow depot icon to match the rest of the station icons in game with a white background

Quote from ChiefBoden61

There are already traffic control units, blocking units and such under the traffic control extension

The new station doesnt have the expansion to use it is my point

with the new tow depot I was expecting it to have traffic units and utility units available. Almost all tow companies have traffic support units and utility units. I would like to see this added sometime soon to give the depot more use.

The Small Heavy Rescue trailer should be able to pair with the utility unit. currently it can be paired with Battalion chief unit, Type 2 fire engine, Type 5 engine, Type 6 engine

Being able to search for equipment in the dispatch menu would make it easier to find and dispatch when needed. for example if I have an engine with hazmat gear I believe it the engine should pop up if I search "hazmat". units are found 1 of 2 ways, by unit name or type, gear should be a extended version of unit type as it is what the unit can be used for on calls.

Adding equipment storage to the heavy rescue trailers would be extremely useful.

Small Heavy Rescue Trailer - 20 Storage slots

same as a heavy rescue unit with the slight benefit of the towing unit storage over the heavy rescue vehicle alone

Large Heavy Rescue Trailer - 40 storage slots

The 40 storage slots gives it a benefit over the small trailer and still making up for the towing unit storage

I have almost 200 fire stations and when trying to move vehicles around or train personnel I usual have to scroll for a few minutes to fine the department, adding a building search into the training and vehicle move menus would be a big help.

Equipment Trailers will allow for any type of equipment into the trailers which will give players free range with what type of trailers they would like.

Small Equipment Trailer - 10 Equipment Storage - Utility, Battalion Chief, Type 2, Type 5, Type 6, MCV, Heavy Rescue, Heavy Rescue + Light Boat - $10,000

Bugs

Small Hazmat Trailer says it can be towed by Tiller Trailer

Small Rescue Trailer says it can be towed by Tiller Trailer

Small Rescue Trailer does not say it can be towed by Utility unit, Type 1 Engine & Heavy Rescue (Assuming to be the same as Small Hazmat Trailer)

Feedback

Tiller Trailer

I believe the Tiller Trailer is pointless as it adds an extra bay needed to do the same job as a platform and there are no benefits, I understand realism but tillers always stay together and it makes more sense to use a platform or a quint in game.

Heavy Rescue Vehicle Storage

I believe the Heavy Rescue Vehicle should have more storage somewhere around 20-30 capacity

Technical Rescue Equipment

Tech Rescue Equipment should be added on to Quints and Platform Trucks as a lot of technical rescue has to do with high angle and rope rescue mostly handled by ladder companies

Foam Tank Equipment

Add Foam Tank Equipment to Type 1 & Type 2 Engines

Equipment Size Adjustments

Lower the size of Mobile air, Generator & Light Tower to 5 as they are not large units

Suggestions

EMS Equipment

EMS Equipment should be added and the ability to apply Fire & EMS equipment to EMS vehicles should be added

ARFF Equipment

ARFF Equipment would be a nice addition, 10 capacity can be used on Battalion Chief, Type 1 Engine, Type 2 Engine, Quint, Heavy Rescue, Utility, Hazmat, EMS Heavy Rescue, ALS Ambulance, EMS Chief, Flycar

you can use a small coastal boat trailer for that, no need for another unit
