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.

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

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.

You have to use the campaign, not freeplay.

I literally said how I was in campaign mode.

The only 'Campaign Mission' there is, is called "Freeplay"

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.

I don't know why or how, but it seems whenever I play with friends on any mod and I'm controlling police, I'll tell my officers to chase a suspect/vehicle and when they get to the suspect/the vehicle, when they get out, they are virtually non-existent for me. My friends and others can see them perfectly fine.

However, if I spawn a cop, and tell them to get out, I can see them. I'll tell them to get back in and patrol. I'll have them chase a suspect and when they catch him. they wont appear outside the car for me, instead, they will be wherever they got out of the car last. Example: I'll spawn a cop and tell him to get out at a hotel or parking lot and then tell them to get back in. On the other side of the map they get out to arrest somebody, and they appear in front of the shop/parking lot in the spot they were standing, not at the police car. If I don't do this and they get out to arrest someone, they will not appear anywhere on the map for me.

Does anybody know how to fix this?


The attached file is a in-game screenshot. my friend said one of my cops was blocking the road and standing in front of the red car. I can not see him.
