Merry Christmas to all of you on missionchief, hope you all have a good day with family and friends.

I knew what you meant, no need to be so on to top of what i have said.

It happens once in awhile, Not everyday someone calls 911 for some dumb reason. Yes it is illegal to call 911. But in my words, you gotta be really stupid to prank call 911.

Seems legit... im laughing a little bit.

Great alliance im glad to be apart of.

Anything can be "HR" Human Resources etc.. ( Not just "HR" For High rank, just gotta think outside the box ).

^{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.}

Heres the problem, Yeah California has it, But not every area in the state has fire planes, Look at it this way ( California has lots of wildland areas and forests, ). Kentland MD don't even have a single plane or helicopter. I am just saying my opinion on it.

Yeah, I haven't had issues with it lately, but I was just wondering if they did in fact add it back and I wasn't having issues.

Ah ok.

I have not any problems since then. It might be just you having some issues due to this.

As a volunteer firefighter myself, When the tone goes out over the pager members will respond to the stations and take whatever vehicle is on the response plan for that call. But if fire control updates the call to a upgraded alarm (Structure Fire then those members that are standby by will take the trucks to the call).

But i have not seen anyone respond back to the station to grab another truck Because i live in a big area. But for smaller department i don't see them responding back to the station and grabbing another truck.

To also note down, I have responded to these quite alot in rl, And they sometime lead to a residential fire or false alarm because of the detector not have been checked in a few years or it is not working properly. As far as a response goes for these types of calls its just an Engine or Truck Company depending on the 911 call, If its a Fire Alarm then its both an Truck company and engine company because that is on our response plan.

But i have seen different in some states. But i am not completely agreeing on this sim because their are different incidents with Smoke alarms / Detector check. But i will agree with @JohnnyPablo

I think you guys should add a new building called stingers and have retired undercover police cars with amber lights in the back like the series on Netflix called Shot in the Dark

It should not be a thing... lol.

Figured this information may help the developer with the smoke detector call.

I know that the call has been removed for the time being, but when I did get the smoke detector check call, it would not show up in my call list but would only show up in my dispatch center projected missions.
I didn't think this was normal as I get game/concert calls in my call list.

Also there would be no time bar. It was a white bar with a green outline from the start before I even dispatched any units.

I get the missions too. and same place as you stated in the projected dispatch missions.

Quote from fireguy1717

I have multiple dispatch centers and sometimes a helicopter will be sent 7 hours away or a patrol car will transport 200 miles (because im not paying attention). Would it be possible to lock all units/buildings assigned to a dispatch center just to that center? Not sure if the general consensus will agree, but thought id ask.

If you click your dispatch center, And scroll down and go to edit, It is already there. Just gotta check the box of (Establish your own coverage area. Stations belonging to this dispatch center are considered for missions in the assigned dispatch center area.)

[But i am not being 100% sure that it will do anything]

I figured i put down the updated list of everything.

Buildings

Name

Vehicles

Name

They shouldn't have it, but i mean if that seems more workable then go ahead. But I wouldn't really know.

The more stations you have, the more calls you will get. Same goes for having a police station, and ambulance station.

I meant in game

I know thats why i said that.

I think this needs to be changed from Coins to like 100 credits and not more then that because when i have like 20 different calls raging from Office building fires to warehouse fire, I just think when people have no coins and they cant finish a call, It would be better to have 100 credits to just finish up that call and keep sending units to those calls that dont need a whole lot of responses from department.

But in game surely that would be water carrier

They are all the same. Water carrier to Tanker. It does not change the fact because they are all tankers.
