    The Wildland addition to the game was really great. Expanding to stand-alone Wildland/Forestry stations makes sense because, in many areas of the US, there are no structures or types of missions normally assigned to a firehouse (with or without the Forestry Expansion). But there are many firefighters in those areas. Good examples are the US National Parks and Forests. They often fight wildfires, but there are no industrial/commercial buildings, supermarkets, gas mains, powerlines, houses, etc.

    I'm completely in agreement with this.

    I was curious too so I googled, and this is what wikipedia says.

    Free Running (Freerun) is a way of expression by interacting with various obstacles and environment. Freerunning may include flipping and spinning. These movements are usually adopted from other sports, such as gymnastics, tricking or breakdancing. Freerunners can create their own moves, flows and lines in different landscapes. It is all about becoming creative in an objective environment. Practitioners of freerunning usually do parkour as well. Freerunning is often associated with parkour by adding acrobatic and stylish moves, showcasing the art of movement. Freerunning was founded by Sebastien Foucan, who discussed the subject in Jump London in 2003.

    Foucan developed freerunning as a more inclusive form of parkour.[2] Parkour's efficient military style obstacle course training lends itself to martial art as a means of weapons avoidance and efficiently closing a distance to an opponent. Freerunning is derived from parkour, but it emphasizes not efficiency but artistry, allowing room for fancy flips and stylistic acrobatics.
