A little late, but I really like this idea. My local department has a Can-Am UTV we use for wildland rescues and scouting out areas during brush fires. We also lend it to the beach cities during major events such as air shows so they can use it for transports and patrol. Would be a very nice addition.

• Change the platform trucks max crew to 6.
I agree, I have no idea where the 3 default even came from.
• Have A Platform + Heavy Rescue.
I'd personally like to see the Quint be turned into a triple unit, Engine + Arial + Rescue (most are like this in real life anyway)
I highly recommend both of these. Especially having a Quint/triple unit. The best example of this I could find was Orange County Fire Authority (CA) Truck 61, which is a normal quint but they also are trained as a medium USAR unit and have the capabilities of basic extrication, as well as more advanced USAR tools and training. Apparently they identify it as a medium USAR unit so it has more capabilities than a normal platform truck w/ extrication equipment, but a little bit less than a full USAR trailer/unit. I have recently been extremely irritated with the heavy rescue requirement on some missions, where most quints/platform trucks would be able to handle/assist.
