In my area there's 2 stations with only 1 vehicle but there is a 3rd station which has 2. I think the 2nd vehicle may be mud rescue as it's an area known for bad mud and RNLI have a hovercraft in the area too.
Do you think that 2nd vehicle could be mud rescue and the other just a CRV
Not sure, I only know of one CG base in our entire sector with one vehicle tbf
Display MoreAs already mentioned, not every team is mud or rope.
If a team specialises in mud/rope rescue they do not receive a 2nd vehicle.
There are exceptions of course as to why a team may have a 2nd vehicle.
Most in our region do rope rescue with a second vehicle? Not sure why that would be different as to other regions
Litreally today saw a CRV - no indicators of rope/mud rescue so think it is normal one
Rope Rescue are unfortunately practically indistinguishable by the looks of it, one of these is a general CRV and one of them is a rope rescue CRV..
so why the plain CRV? all units now are mud or rope units, arent they?
We still have non-specialised CRV here, seems to be most rope rescue CG bases (in my region at least) will have one general and one rope rescue vehicle
But are they using the trailer as a separate graphic, or it's a combined graphic /the 4x4 + trailer in one picture/ ?
Separate, unfortunately
So for this are we going to be looking at things like RSUs with boats a large enough number of RSUs do carry boats or at least some advanced form of water rescue gear?
By technical I assume stuff like rope rescue
The update been out a day now, has anyone discovered how any/all of the trailers work? (both graphics wise and in general)
For fire, you can send the 4x4 on its own with both displaying as separate units, but upon sending the trailer it automatically sends the 4x4 with it, I've not found any issues with it - cancel the trailer and it cancels the 4x4 and vice versa. I assume this is how it works with CG and such
That I don’t know actually
Ah fair enough, it turns out it is just a standard slot it takes up, I was confused thinking it needed a swap body space but I had just forgotten to expand my station
It is. It’s just not fully implemented with Part 1. Part 2 will see specific missions for it. Further down the line there will be a comprehensive technical rescue update for fire but that’s not part of the SAR update
Oh thank god I didn't waste credits and such on mine then haha, do trailers just use up swap body spaces too?
Basic Fire water rescue should be coming in part 2
Does this mean the towable boat isn't meant to be the Water Rescue Unit? or am I misinterpreting what you've said
Also, does anyone have any clue how to identify the difference between Line Rescue, Mud Rescue & Swift Water Rescue Teams - if I remember correctly mud rescue teams have backboards on the roof but that is about the extent of my knowledge regarding identifying them (even still I'm not sure if that's correct)
Just skimming through this update I am very pleased with how it's been set up, absolutely brilliant (still have no idea what a mud decon unit is but still)
as someone trying to get all the remaining Grampian variations, loving these GFB & GFRS graphics !
Defo a good idea, still wish we had a SRV ICCU combo 
did you get any of the other grampian ones that have been done? I also have a version of the new FIU done already
did see those aye, probably going to keep the FIU as Grampian because I am the most Ex-GFRS appliance obsessed person in existance
Absolutely no issue if you have questions about Scottish Stuff I really would be more than happy to help
Thank you for that! I was no where with it, so this helps a lot! Appreciate the explanations too!
Thank god I chose Aberdeen Newbridge's base would take me bloody years
Display MoreHello,
I am struggling to get info about Foam appliances in the east delivery area for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. I know Kirkcaldy has a 4x4 foam carrier, does another station hold an appliance with foam, or a pod?
Speaking of Pods for Dunfermline I know have 2 Prime Movers but I can only find information that they only have 1 pod, is this correct, doesn't make sense to have 2 PMs and 1 pod?
I could also use some help with SORT at Newbridge as again I am struggling to find the information about what vehicles they have?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
I've only visited Aberdeen & Johnstone however this info should still be fairly accurate, please keep in mind a lot of SORT units don't really fit into the criteria missionchief has set so for some vehicles you may need to just choose an MCUK vehicle that fits best, or for example with our hooklifts just choose a module that's best suited for you.
I'll start off with the basic vehicles and kind of explain the ones that you'll need to put more thought into later on.
- 1x SRU (Sort Response Unit) Your bog standard VW Transporter Primary Response Vehicle
- 1x WRU (Water Rescue Unit) In Scotland our Special Op teams have dedicated water rescue units, advisors have already confirmed no dedicated HART water rescue units will come out so just make this a PRV too
- 1x IRC (Incident Response Command) acts as a mini command vehicle & primary response vehicle, you could technically make it an ICCU but I'd advise you not to because of the FCV.
- 1x ATVC (ATV Carrier) Carries the Wolverine ATVs, simple as.
- 1x IRP (Incident Response Primary) Despite its name I'd make this one an SRV
- 1x FCV (Forward Command Vehicle) Very outdated command vehicle that when I got photos of it, its lightbar didn't even work- just make it an ICCU and pretend we still use it
- 1x LOG (Logistics) Technically a separate entity from SORT this just transports logistical equipment, should be made a Mass Cass vehicle
- 1x HEV (Heavy Equipment Vehicle) Can be argued this could be the mass cass vehicle, but I'd just make it an SRV
- 1x ISU (Incident Support Unit) Just a crew carrier really
- 2x DAAR (Difficult Access & Retrieval) Both of these are just ambulance units
- 1x ESU (Emergency Support Unit) I'm not even sure if this one even still exists anymore but if it does just make it an SRV because you've already done mass cass
This bit probably needs its entire own section because it cannot be done in missionchief, there are 2 pod carriers at Newbridge (call them hooklifts or prime mover if you want to I don't care) there are 5 different modules that these prime mover can carry:
Pod 1 - An ATV Module that carries an ATV, fairly simple.
Pod 2/3 - In a nutshell, these pods carry clinical equipment, logistical stuff, generators, etc.
Pod 4 - A CBRNe Module
Pod 5 - A Welfare Module, not sure if Newbridge has one of these- it may only be Glasgow.
Just choose whatever suits you most and make each Pod Carrier one of these units, e.g. a CBRNe Unit and maybe a Welfare unit.
Newbridge has god knows how many Officer Cars, at least 10 including the unmarked ones- but it has 3 shogun officer cars that you could probably make AOs, or if you want you could even make one an ATVC since they can trailer them. And finally, Newbridge has a Critical Care RRV. That should be about it anything else to my knowledge is probably just outdated and no longer used, and this list is probably already expensive and time-consuming enough for you haha
genuinely helps so much my current graphic is just a meme lol, shame Grampian's FIU got replaced literally over the past week or two but I'm still gonna use the graphic anyways
