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

Thank you very much, sir! And Ik it's a year late, but you are correct in saying that Montana POVs with reds and without sirens are not POVs. There's this person on the internet here who is a firefighter in Montana. He confirmed that unless a POV has been signed over to the state, it cannot be an emergency vehicle. N150CZ - YouTube

Sorry about that.

The Montana prehospital treatment protocols state that crews can terminate resuscitation efforts in the field under the guidance of their relevant medical direction, though it doesn't specify EMT vs Paramedic. My assumption is that either EMT or Paramedic can declare a time of death depending on the level of the truck (ALS vs BLS) and fill out the appropriate post-mortem paperwork, as long as they've contacted a doctor at the hospital that was going to receive them and gotten their permission to terminate resuscitation efforts. I'll drop a link to the document here. Pages 68 and 69 refer specifically to the cessation of resuscitation by EMS crews in the field. This is the best I could find. I'm an EMT in Indiana so the protocol here is different simply because we have greater access to hospital facilities.

Thank you for finding another image of that truck. Seeing it with front nozzles is giving me ideas. It might be something I messed up while coding. I'll have to look into this, thanks.

I literally said how I was in campaign mode. The only 'Campaign Mission' there is, is called "Freeplay"

Alright, thanks for your help, sir.

Cool! Which state is Mayberry County in, if you did get down that deep?

Hello. I started up 911 first responders for the first time in a while and now, when i launch a game, the map lighting has a blue tint, Does anybody know why this has happened or how to fix it?

It likely depends on the scenario. Often for EMTs or Paramedics to pronounce they're supposed to call medical control (a doctor somewhere) first. However there's exceptions for places with bad communications or if you can't reach medical control for other reason. Often the protocol is written like "for medical arrests terminate after 30 min or 3 consecutive 'No shocks advised' from an AED". And as stated above most protocols allow for CPR to not be initiated (which is tantamount to pronouncement if there's obvious signs of death such as lividity or traumatic injuries incompatible with life. The reason you're not finding it when looking it up is that such specifics aren't at the state level, they're at the individual service/medical director level.

Could an EMT in Montana call a death? I'm trying to look this up but nothing so far.

You have to use the campaign, not freeplay.

Yes I have declared people dead before as an EMT in certain circumstances. DNR present, obvious signs of death. I have worked jobs with medics and they can terminate CPR with medical control approval. (They have to call the doc.) On one occasion I got to call the doc myself for termination orders but that was a situation that I doubt will repeat itself

Whenever I try to save the game in Campaign -> Freemode the game crashes. It brings up error messages. It 'Saves' but when I load the save the same error messages pop up, hitting "Retry" doesnt seem to do anything, and when it finally loads I have no UI and can select unis.

Can someone help me? When i load the mod i get 3 .dll errors and the game loads like that. No map info and no info on the vehicles menu. Anyone having this problem? Thanks!

Found this on the Dillon Volunteer Fire Department page of the City of Dillon website.

Todays NYstalgia Spec post. Very few 1991 caprices were purchased by the NYPD and they were bought in two batches. The first batch of 1991 Caprices had the same striping from the original 1973 design. The second batch introduced the NYC POLICE livery which was used until 1993 with some variations through the 3 years

Just use the TEC menu to call an Engineer, and have the engineer fix the hydrant.
