ok

just wondering how many more ARFF units and calls are going to be implimented into the game

exactly what TACRfan said

true

can everyone calm down??

emergency this already more or less exists. i understand in the US these exist but in the UK these are non-existent. these engines below are paramedic engines and, as you can see, they look the same as normal engines, albeit they're slightly older then a usual engine.

can everyone please calm down?

ok good

i think this is a brill idea

yeah ok

the calls work for me

ok jason i thought he meant that boats that were launched from the coast.
and TACRfan i agree that the boats launched from a vehicle would be transported by vehicle (understandably). as it shows by youre photo there, NFRS use ford transits to launch boats, WSFRS use land rovers

Quote from TACRfan

I would say 6 fire, 2 ambulance stations

ok thanks. could it also happen at the level crossing POI?

i agree this should be implemented into the game for incidents like aircraft fires, emergency landings due to fire etc. also ive found out that UK and german rescue stairs seem to be larger then their US counterparts.

Hey all,

I have just recently gotten into placing all the POI's that I can surrounding my fire stations on the map. In doing so, I have looked at the list of POI's and have come up with suggestions for new POI's with the corresponding calls they could be associated with them:

New POI's With Associated Calls:

• Seaport- Fire Alarm (Single engine), fuel spill (two engines, a medic, 2 battalions, hazmat team), Confined Space (two engines, 1-2 Ladders, 2-3 medics, 2-3 battalion chiefs, 2 Heavy Rescues/TRT Team), Shipboard Fire (4 engines, one ladder, two battalions, one tanker, one heavy rescue, possible hazmat).
• Residential Development/Area- Fire Alarm (Engine, Ladder), Vehicle into a House (engine, ladder, 2-4 medics, battalion, heavy rescue), Silent Alarm Trip (three patrol cars).
• Beach- Drowning (Engine, Medic, Battalion or EMS fly-car, Chance of needing Air Rescue), Dehydration (medic), Broken leg/arm (one engine/ladder, medic).
• Known drug area/building- Overdose (one medic, two patrol cars), Fire that Involves Possible Drug Lab (3 engines, two ladders, two battalions, one hazmat, one heavy rescue, 3-4 patrol cars).
• Swimming Pool- Drowning (Engine or Ladder, Medic, EMS Fly-car or Battalion, Two patrol cars).

Possible New Units:

• EMS Supervisor- having this unit act as a battalion chief on the EMS side of things. It would respond to overdoses, heart attacks, major accidents, drownings, etc.
• MCI Unit- these are common all across the United States. It would help in treating patients with more than 5 patients.
• Brush Truck- I was thinking that the Type-2 engine could be replaced by this title/unit due to the fact that brush trucks normally wouldn't be staffed with more than 3 guys at the maximum level.
• Swift Water/Dive Unit- whether on the FD or PD side, many departments around the country have a dedicated dive unit for recovery purposes that include deceased individuals, evidence, and used for accidents into bodies of water. Would require a class from the fire academy.
• K-9 Unit- Almost every police department has a K-9 Unit. It would bring more in-depth of calls/units for the PD side.
• Patrol Supervisor/Watch Commander- Similar to the K-9 Unit, it would bring more in-depth calls for the PD side.
• Bomb Squad- I noticed that there is a bomb call in the game but we do not have a bomb squad unit. It would make sense to create this since a call involving a bomb is already in the game. Would require a class from the police academy.
• Boat Unit- for PD and/or FD side of things. Makes sense for the departments that have oceans/large bodies of water around them.
• Light/Air Unit- a possibility of turning the air unit into an Air/Light Unit so that it could add to the calls that it could respond to

Keep in mind that these are just a few of the suggestions that I could think of off the top of my head. I know not everyone is familiar nor has many of these units utilized around them. I am basing these suggestions off of North American units since this version is technically based off of North American units. If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to comment.

this is a brilliant update that i would love to see made. i do have a suggestion relating to the boat unit. boats in the UK are very seldom seen as the only fire and police boats i know of belong to the london fire brigade and metropolitan police(London.)[Blocked Image: http://www.amgram.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/LFB-Fire-Dart.png]

your right i didnt know about this but i do agree this does need to be infinite

I'm sorry but I just have to speak my mind here. This adds nothing to the game and doesn't even work with what the game is trying to be. Rescues are underused yes but is your heavy rescue going to be first in on a house fire, pull a line, and start fire attack? Like come on. Think logical here. Heavy rescues are used for technical rescue situations where specific equipment is needed. (I.E. Shoring, cribbing, extrication, dive, and hazardous materials some times) If you really want a rescue pumper just simply rename your rescue or your engine.

it does add stuff to the game. norfolk (where TACR fan is based) is very rural, therefore they dont need as many (or any) heavy rescue units. this is a great idea

like TACRfan said, this is very localised and would be more suited to places where their are volcanos. EG: mt Etna. also, do you have an idea what units could be needed, and how many stations etc?

i think this is a brilliant idea how many fire and ambo stations do you think it will need?
