Lol, I can assure you my area doesn't send 3 patrol cars, a fire engine, and two ambulances to stand by at every soccer game. A little intense, but hopefully the payout would be good.
Hahahaha, yea you're right about that!

Ah, I gotcha now. I don't know of such unit in the U.S like that. The FD establishes the LZ, therefore there isn't a need for someone to check the site, because the FD has secured it.

Wow, yea that is VERY resource intense. We don't even send that much in real life....

Are you sure that these reserve appliances have crews though?? Im not sure how familiar you are with how the Fire Services are setup around the world, if your a fan of the emergency services or an actual firefighter yourself (as I am).We have Reserve (We call them relief) appliances in the main city of our region, (Taranaki). These relief appliances are NOT crewed at any time, and are only used to replace other appliances when they are out of action/having maintenance performed on them.
When an appliance, say for example 481, is due for a service, A mechanic or other Fire Service staff member will drive the relief appliance down to 481's station. They will drop the relief appliance off at that station, and then return to the workshop with 481. At this point the relief appliance becomes Acting 481 because it is no longer in a relief role. The true 481 is returned to its home station when it is serviced and fit for duty, and the relief appliance is returned to the workshop until it is needed again.
In my opinion if a reserve appliance actually is crewed, then it is no longer a reserve appliance, rather a normal appliance.
Does anyone agree with me? If you have any questions let me know, as i fear my explanation is not 100% clear to someone who doesn't already know the system.
My thoughts exactly. We do the same for our reserve equipment. Just like the other day, our engine had a coolant leak. So, Chief came and picked up one of us to go pick up Reserve Engine 2 at station 8, while the others drove the other engine to the shop. We house reserve equipment at different stations throughout our department. Not normally at one central location.

Having reserve building is new to me. I've never heard of that...Most of our reserve units are placed at different stations.

All our companies carry saws.

Agreed, I have brought this up before.

Thanks for the suggestions.
The "QRVS- SUVs or Chargers for Supervisors or Fire Stations without Transport Ability's" has already been implemented and named "Fly Car". The Fly Car can be placed at both EMS stations and a Fire Station.
Also, I moved your thread to "Suggestions for Improvements"
Thanks

Awesome idea! Never thought about that and would definitely like that! How does everyone else feel?

Yes, they are called Rescue Pumpers here. This was brought up a while ago and I like the idea. Will bring this up to Sebastian for later development.

i know this might take some time in getting a response but i think it would be better for the units that we send to the staging area instead of being shown as code 1, i think it would better to have them listed as code 6 until they get to the staging area and then become code 1 or code 2. the reason for this is as it stands now we send unit to the staging area and if they are close to a call it will send them to that call delaying when they get to the staging area, and assigned to the call you wanted them to go to.
I like it. It's real world to me. We dispatched by the closest unit at the FD I work for. When you're enroute to cover in at a station. You're still inservice and can receive calls if you're the closest unit. I like it.

Thanks for bringing up yet again lol another topic that has been brought up before. Tyler, we are working hard to bring updates to this game. That is on the list of things to do. But, we currently have other projects to complete. Thanks.
Please refer to Speed of Vehicles

Nothing is going to sway his decision until his test run is complete. We just have to be patient. Thanks for understanding.

Tried my hand at it again, EFD. Words are backwards, but it's small so you probably won't notice. I can make it bigger too.
That's good Gavin! Thanks man.

Hey Krys. Would you turn this into a fly car please. Thanks in advance.

There are plans to bring new vehicles to each emergency service.
