In the video above, he said he had to go through Montana DOJ, the sheriff of his county, and the fire chief of his department to get his vehicle designated as an emergency vehicle.

This is why I love my province's rules. I'm from Saskatchewan, and we recognize POVs of firefighters and medical responders and the like as emergency vehicles, since April 1, 2009. The reason is because some City of Estevan fireman named Travis Olver ran a red light, while going to a truck fire in his POV. Cops noticed and stopped him anyway. He was given a $220 CAD ticket, he fought it, but lost. The judge reduced it to $70. Then Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall got the legislature together, and got the law changed. Section 238 of the Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Act says; "The driver of an emergency vehicle may act pursuant to subsection (2) if the emergency vehicle is: (a) used for the transportation of a peace officer in the performance of the officer’s duties; (b) used for the transportation of a member of a fire department in response to an emergency; (c) an ambulance used in response to an emergency; (d) a vehicle or one of a class of vehicles designated by the board as an emergency vehicle which is used in response to an emergency; or (e) a vehicle that: (i) is designated by a municipality in a bylaw as a vehicle that may be used as an emergency vehicle by a volunteer firefighter or first responder; and (ii) is being used in response to an emergency and is operated by a person who meets the prescribed requirements.

The more we read into this, the more I start to think that Montana lawmakers never anticipated on anyone looking into the statute this deeply! haha. That's very interesting. I wonder if the definition maybe changes unofficially depending on the warning system configuration of a given vehicle.

I found more info on MCA 61-8-102 (2)(a): "Authorized emergency vehicle" means a vehicle of a governmental fire agency organized under Title 7, chapter 33, an ambulance, or an emergency vehicle designated or authorized by the department. The department is what confuses, me so I had to go to 61-1-101. 61-1-101 (17) says: (17) "Department" means the department of justice acting directly or through its duly authorized officers or agents. So the Montana State DOJ has the authority to designate any vehicle as an authorized emergency vehicle. Also this firefighter guy here said POVs are emergency vehicles, if approved to be as such by the Fire Chief, County Sheriff, and Montana State DOJ. Which is confusing, because he said in another video that POVs are not emergency vehicles.

Alright, it's been a few days, and it looks to be functionally fixed. So I've stopped monitoring the sheet. All is back to normal.

@efrenteo I don't actually know which borough, but I'm excited for this mod!

Hiya guys; I'm trying to make some personal edits to the London Mod V1.3, but any edits I make don't show up in the game. I've attempted to modify the sound files in Audio/FX and the image files for people in Models, but it's still remaining as default despite the fact I've saved over those files? Not sure what that's about. Added context, when I uninstalled some mods a few months ago, a couple of them remained with the green wrench symbol; this has persisted despite me completely reinstalling the game from a DVD, so that might have something to do with it? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. :]

Would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know how to adjust the timing at traffic lights?

Vous devez utiliser la campagne, pas le freeplay.

Looking forward to this mod, everything looks great! Got a question, do you all know what borough of NYC this mod will be taking place in?

Hello, I downloaded the mods and when I load it to play it nothing appears. Shows everything empty without map, vehicles, etc. how can I solve that?

I heard EMTs can't do shit without mee control doc on the phone. At least thats what Fire Department Chronicles said on YouTube. Fun fact: Nurses in the Philippines, where I'm originally from, are the paramedics. We don't have paramedics there, so the nurses are the next best thing. We do have EMTs. Nurses and EMTs can call deaths. PNP cops can't call deaths, but PNP-SOCO (Scene of the Crime Operatives) can.

I'm speaking solely for NY BLS. Other states have a tendency for being a lot more restrictive even with signs of obvious death

There are two jump seats at the back of the engine's cab. It's probably to simulate a VFD in a town that has absolutely nothing to upgrade their VFD.

in regards to #2, you can see the cab is open and there is room for at least 2 other firefighters

A variety of "in universe" explanations: 1. Apparatus may pre-date that specific standard 2. Apparatus may be designed so that its shorter and can fit into tighter rural areas like down narrow dirt roads which required sacrificing cab size. 3. Other firefighters may be expected to arrive on other apparatus. 4. 2 people is the minimum needed to utilize a fire engine in real world (not NFPA) applications. 5. Few if any departments 100% meet everything the NFPA would like to see. There's the NFPA standard and then there's the real world. There's few departments outside the military and major urban departments that are 100% NFPA compliant with everything. On my first volunteer department we had engines that could seat 3, 5, and 9. Rarely was every seat filled on an engine, often other firefighters would arrive on other apparatus or in POVs on-scene.

It's probably to simulate having less firefighters than ideal. Monida Pass is officially a city, legal wise, but they are more or less like a town, population wise.

Another question: Why does the Volunteer engine only hold 2 firefighters? That doesnt make it very effective for fire fighting, and is below the standard for how many should be on an engine.

Idk, you'll have to ask the guy I listed above. Thankfully, you can do so in the comments of his YT vids. Edit: I think he said something like that, but Idk.

I'm not good for much, but I do enjoy my research. I'm always happy to help solve quirky little mysteries like the ones that keep popping up in this thread. Looking through protocols is very fun to me haha. Without sounding too silly.. a POV that gets signed over to the state wouldn't be a POV anymore, right?

is there an update
