To be honest I'd like to see this as a temporary/permanent use based on the players interest. Right now I have police stations low manned I just made and my older police stations have unused staff that I could send over there to be used. Same with fire stations. This definitely could come in handy.
I was going to make a thread on this topic but I figured there were enough already so that is why I posted here.
Since the National Guard is used for each states emergencies depending on how bad the situation is, it's not a bad idea to think about having them implemented.
Vehicles would be troop transports to allow 8-10 troops, Humvees - 4 troops, helicopter - 4 troops etc
The National Guard could assist with any major disasters as well.
How about calls that involve natural disasters such as earthquakes, tropical storms, hurricanes, etc?
Not sure how this topic got onto RIT. Which a town over from me has a RIT Rescue Engine.
Anywho, What do you guys think about this idea?
Not too many states have Fire Police. Only 14 I think do. My state being one of them. But what about the idea of having Fire Police officers as an option to assist for Fire calls?
How about a Mega Alliance or Task Force that comprises of multiple Alliances that work together? The respective members stay in their own group but will be able to cooperate with other Alliance members in a different Alliance. The only catch would be decided who would be the Task Force leader which would follow with uprising and mutiny unless there wouldn't be a head leader or there would be a vote. Just a thought.
This has been brought up several times including myself as well.
To give it a more realistic feel, How about the occasional downed firefighter/EMT/police officer? Depending on the call have a risk of one or more responders getting injured thus becoming a victim themselves thus requiring an additional ambulance dispatched to that call. Which would also make it more challenging due to whatever rig had the injured member would no longer be available and would slow down that vehicles response time. The injured member would fall along the normal hospital release protocol and the vehicle would need to have another member or more than one to replace the injured.
Example: A smoke alarm. I normally send a Chief, two engines and a ladder truck. Say the truck company goes up on the roof to check for hot spots or ventilate the roof. The roof collapses and one or two firefighters fall in. That would be required to call in a mayday mayday firefighter down. Then that truck company wether a platform with only one member left or a quint with only four members left. I'd personally send in one more engine and truck company to assist as well as two ambos.
See where I'm going? Or if an engine company takes on a burning car and one or two catch fire or get severely injured due to a car explosion. I'd call in a second engine to assist and two ambos.
Or an EMT gets injured somehow. You'd need a second ambulance. Especially if the one injured was the only one on scene.
Maybe a police officer got shot and needed backup.
Those injured would be sent to the hospital and need replacements while unavailable which would challenge the player as his member count to that said station went down one.
Or an entire engine, truck, or rescue company gotten injured from a building collapse, trench rescue, ice rescue, or gas station fire. That would suck but sadly these things do happen.
Thoughts on this anyone?
I had this happen at one alliance call. Only four units were available due to distance in another county. Hard to send mutual aid to an alliance member when away long distance. Should be allowed to double the distance for units.
Sure, a spam bot is a autonomous process that will create a post on this website and contain many different links, often viruses. We seem to have been able to halt the spam bots that were posting on here but it could happen again.
How does the bot know what to say as it is incapable of human emotions?
I never thought of Wiki. I'll look into it. No other airport stations in my area besides them. Thanks for the tip though.
I can see your point on them keeping it secretive.
I get this a lot as well! I have to end up canceling all responding units then resending them again.
I realize this thread is old but could someone explain to me what spam bots are and how to detect a spam bot post? I realize this is a simple question but I honestly have no clue what a spam bot is. Is it a virus or something?
Not sure if Sebastian can do anything about this but I am currently having a slight difficulty in finding a couple fire stations using the map on missionchief as well as Google maps itself when in fact I know the stations I am seeking exist. Any suggestions? This isn't a game error. Just something I am seeking help with.
Looking for the fire station locations of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. I tried several sites and get different addresses that just don't add up. I have two locations so far after searching hard for them. The other two are nearly impossible to find unless someone knows where they are personally.
It is aggrivating when you want to expand but the fire stations you want don't show up.
Is it an error on Googles part or is it because it is part of military functions and serves as a military building?
One of the stations I have for it is practically in the middle of the road and no building around but I just used the location it gives me.
Any advice from anyone?
I'm not real big on EMS, I run 5 EMS Squads with 13 ambulances. 3 Fire based and 2 straight EMS itself. I haven't tried obtaining this yet but you're telling me that I can't get it right now due not having enough EMS stations? I just want to make sure that I'm understanding this correctly.
I have opened up my first ARFF station and plan on making 3 more soon. How do I get calls for it now? I made 4 POI's having to do with the runways and air terminal. The wiki page doesn't tell me the calls for ARFF.
I get that but it's not realistic to the area I am recreating

Create your usual ambulance stations and do what he suggested with the 3-5 ambulances then get rid of the extra ambulances until you have the number of desired ambos you wanted. Expensive yes but it will possibly give you more ems calls.
Kind of hard to show screen proof as I use my phone with Metro PCS and the Mobile App,
1. Off and on at random times in the past few months I've had issues with dispatching units to calls. It goes from taking two or three times tapping the dispatch button and it sends the units out to them not getting Dispatched at all and I end up restarting the app again.
2. The Alarm & Response Regulation Settings where you can decide how many of each units gets sent to a call that you enter in, Rarely does this but I'll notice when a certain unit does not get dispatched and I not get notified until I see the call still in yellow and not green.
Example: Gas Station Fire, Residential Fire, Burning Machine, Commercial Fire, Dangerous Goods Truck Accident, Truck in House Wall, Unknown Tanker Spill. I've had it where I was less one Engine, Mobile Air, Platform, Command Vehicle, MVC, Etc. Like one or two missing from my Alarm & Response Regulation Settings. Not the smaller calls but the bigger ones I have this problem. Could be my own error possibly, But generally in every Alarm & Response Regulations I add an extra engine or two and the special units to all my calls.
Is it possible of a lag that has this occur or when I dispatch call after call constantly? I generally handle 10-16 calls at once depending on what is available.
Hello, The New Jersey Emergency Services alliance is currently seeking membership for those interested in looking for an everyday active alliance. We only seek those who are serious about being active. So if you live in NJ, or based stations in NJ, go ahead and put in an application! We like to be serious and realistic as possible but also have fun and enjoy ourselves too. We are fair but firm.

Single Engine Air Tanker, A smaller version than one of those huge tanker planes you see flying over California wildfires.
If you saw Planes: Fire & Rescue, Dusty Crophopper is an example of one.
