i believe the crew carrier was developed to help out any wildfire expansion missions, and with the adddition of hotshot training- just staff any hotshot trained in that unit
The "crew carrier" was around before the Wildland Extensions were pushed out and seems to be just a mechanism to transport personnel or it can also be used as a Tow vehicle.
Not sure if this has been suggested....but how about adding a Zoo and Theme Park to the POI list?
no luck there either. tried chrome same thing. I've literally tried just about everything I can think of outside of contacting support or trying a different device.
I would suggest contacting support and also try to clear your "cache" if you have not done so already.
I just double checked that and it's set to the max distance. plus I can dispatch if I open the dispatch window in a different tab. that's actually what I've been doing for now is running two tabs on explorer.
Try using a different browser to play the game. Explorer is not the friendliest. I started out using Edge and had issues....then tried explorer and same thing. switched to chrome and it works fine.
That has no affect on mission spawning.
true....but he is just looking for a place to store spare units and not use them...
No way to have multiple dispatch centers without premium sadly. I will just use stacked fire stations for it.
even with one dispatch center you can still out the unit in the station and status that specific unit as not available in the edit unit tab. Status 6
I notice that the max personnel on a Quint is 6 and on a Ladder Truck is only 3 with a 3 person minimum. Most places I know staff their trucks heavier than Engines. Can we possibly get the staffing level to match on Quints and Ladders? Then we can adjust it to the level matching the set up we use. Just a thought... thanks
Thanks for telling me, but it is over 4 years old. The website actually suggested starting a new thread
yep.....i get that....but there are also more recent posts and basically it was put forth that it is not going to happen... That was just one of many posts I found on the subject
Display MoreStaging areas are good for sending out units to help alliance members, but they only last 24 hours. I think there should be a more permanent staging are, that could cost money.
Small warehouse: Doesn't generate calls, stores 10 units of all types. Costs $25,000.
Large warehouse: Doesn't generate calls, stores 50 units of all types. Costs $80,000.
These could be used to store reserve/backup units or to store units far away so they can quickly assist alliance members.
This would still act as a staging post, vehicles still have a home station. It is just a more permanent staging area for storing units for longer times.
I also have an image concept for it.
Here is an old forum this was already discussed in... there are several
Try taking some of your extensions off line. This should lower the number of these type of missions.
I think I deactivated all but one of them... I always had the "forestry" extensions for my stations but when the wildland component was added is when it changed...
@EMS-Chief...thanks... I just assumed he meant time till mission was over. appreciate the clarification
That's not even the most annoying part of the rapid wildland missions... it's the part requiring 20 or so hotshots for each. As someone who builds realistically and my state only has 5 hotshot crews very spread out, it's so frustrating having to wait hours just so I can complete the mission. The amount of follow-up missions generated is also absurd. (as seen below)

Agree....I was trying to maintain a positive post and be constructive with some suggestions...
I have brought this forward before and I am going to bring it forward again in hopes that the developers will see it and make some changes. This morning while running the game in the turbo mode, over the span of an hour I have more than 60 rapid wildland missions generate, followed by at least a dozen wildfire clean up, all within close proximity to each other. There is no way you can have the resources to complete these missions as they occur. A suggestion is this.. Why not have the original mission expand a reasonable amount of times to require additional resources, instead of having all those separate missions? Put a cap on the number of expansions so you are not emptied of the ability to complete them. Also a suggestion is to add the "requirement" of dozers and firefighting airplanes to the missions.. thanks for reading
I have a timer in my missions.. using the LSSM
Then take some screen shots and go the the FAQ link and contact support. Send the screen shots
Do you have them set as Ready for action?
what did you change in LSSM?
I did not really "change" anything. I should have been more clear. I just opened the extended alarm window and moved the position of one of my tabs and then moved it back to original place, which prompted me to save on exit. I saved, logged out of the game, cleared the cache on the browser, logged back into the game and they were there.
Another quick question. I'm using the website and a station in Grand Prairie, TX say
Scorpion 3 [Blocker]
Does anybody know what vehicle that would be?
A "Blocker" is a unit that responds to motor vehicle accidents or accidents on the highway and it is placed between the on scene apparatus and the on coming traffic to protect equipment and personnel on the scene
real life is especially in my city is they used the same plan for to build the last 8 new stations.. price didnt change at all!! they plan to keep the same design for 8 more new stations in the works. does costs go up.. for 2 things.. inflation and building materials but it doesnt go up 200%..but going from 250k for a station then 500k for the next in this game is totally unrealistic
May be unrealistic, but it has been explained to us that the more stations you buy, the higher the cost in credits. For example... I have been playing long enough and purchased so many stations that my cost in credits is $1,814, 298. The concern or displeasure regarding this escalating cost has been passed on to the content folks and the developers.
I have the same issue as Lenny, can't find or dispatch my smoke jumper plane and wildland lead plane
I had a problem finding mine initially too. I went to the LSSM and opened the release notes and then went into the extended dispatch window and saved it and then logged completely out of the game and back in and they were there. I should clarify that by saying I am playing on a Laptop....not off the phone app
