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.
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.

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.
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.

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?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.

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 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.

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

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.
Alright, thanks for your help, sir.

From the people who brought you Boston Mod 2014, and Manchester, NH Mod 2014, comes an all new mod!
Welcome to the Town of Mayberry, located in Mayberry County. This isn't your "Andy Griffith Show" Mayberry. The town has grown, and so has the crime rate, building fires, and medical emergencies.
Mayberry is protected by the Town of Mayberry Volunteer Fire Department, Mayberry County Fire Protection, Mayberry County Sheriff, and Mayberry Memorial Medical Center EMS.
The town fire department consists of 3 stations manned by 1 chief and 14 paid firefighter/EMT's, and many additional volunteers who live on and off the map. The local sheriff's office is manned by 4 deputies and 4 SWAT members.
Mayberry is unlike any mod you have played before. Limited water resources, limited personnel, and rough terrain will test your abilities. If you have what it takes, then dive in!

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

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

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.
You have to use the campaign, not freeplay.

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

This is amazing! How do I repair a hydrant though? I am stuck on that and I am not sure how to fix it!
Just use the TEC menu to call an Engineer, and have the engineer fix the hydrant.

Both of these things are intentionally capped by script. Adjusting them without knowing how the code works can cause undesired behavior.
I am still on the fence with how I will arrange things in the coming updates to the mod. Specifically, I can't have more BCSO cars until I make all the bases needed for them, which could take however long. I don't want to include repeats of existing vehicles, for sake of pumping the numbers up.
Regarding volunteer firefighters, the reason I asked for people's real life POV's was a fun way of adding more volunteer personnel to the mod so that more personnel can be playable.
Thank you for doing the research on this one. I have evidence now and I can make that judgement call with the mod. I'll have it be courtesy lights by default (as it is now) and sort out the lights/sirens commands later on.
I still don't know how I'll proceed with that because Dillon's batt chief appears to also be a POV, while Lima VFD has a dedicated vehicle. Maybe I'll keep their speed the same but remove the sirens from the 2 chief vehicles.
If you like, you can still keep the sirens on chief's POVs, and just pretend the chiefs that own them have signed them off to the state, to meet section 2a of 61-8-102. After that, they can't have much freedom as to what they can do with their state-signed POV while off duty. The state-signed POV fo a chief would then act like a fire department owned vehicle for take home purposes, not a POV.

This was my initial concept but it proved too difficult because of how the volunteer firefighter system was made. Instead I just left it to the player to decide how to dispatch the units.
I have tweaked the volunteer script so you get between two to four personnel in the day time, and at most, six at night.
The player has the responsibility to dispatch the appropriate number of units per call.Here's some updates to playable units. Colors have been done, and I am readying up the resources for liveries.
No volunteers are available at night, this is something I noticed in tons of Montana Mod 2.5 videos on YouTube

Here's a video about an unmarked LAFD unit being driven by an LAFD Tactical medic. Note the rear light is red and amber, instead of blue and amber.

That's cool but you're in the wrong thread, this is the New York thread.
Feel free to repost this back in the LA thread.
Sadly the tactical medic did not exist in the 90s.
Oh, sorry, I thought this was Project Nostalgia. I guess I didn't check the title first.

Hey @itchboy, here's an unmarked LAFD tactical medic unit, in case you're looking for an example of an unmarked LAFD unit that has L&S. Please note that the rear light is red and amber, as opposed to the red and blue on unmarked and slicktop LAPD units.

EMTs do vary from state to state with some states like New Jersey barley allowing their EMTs to do anything and some states like Montana allow their EMTs to do a lot more, Montana specifically recognizes 4 different levels of EMS provider and various endorsements.
EMR (emergency medical responder, used to be called first responder) with possible endorsements to allow them to use pulse oximiters and naloxone (narcan)
EMT (emergency medical technician) with possible endorsements for: medication administration, IVs/IOs, airway (allows the use of a King Tube) and naloxone (narcan),
AEMT (Advanced emergency medical technician, can do basically all the stuff an EMT with all the endorsements can do) with possible endorsements for : medication administration (more meds)
Paramedic (can do all the stuff of an AEMT plus additional) with possible endorsement for: Critical care (transfer of critical patents/more meds and equipment)
Quick question, out of curiosity. Can EMS personnel legally declare a person dead, not like make certificates or anything that wild, just saying "Yo this dude ain't comin back to us, we should stop", things like that. If so, who? Can an EMT or AEMT do it, or is it for Paramedics only? I think EMRs are out of the queation.

I can answer a couple questions.
MPPD is capped at four.
MPFD is also capped at four because of the size of the town, it's intended to make the player have to be creative about the resources they use and to rely on mutual aid with a delayed response, just like real life Montana. As for the engines, I don't know what their plans are.
Thanks for answering some of my questions. At least you tried your best, that's what matters.

P.S: Do you know how many cars does the MHP have? I know they may have at least 2 in the mod, but I am not sure. I haven't played it myself.

@bama1234 @itchboy Sorry for pinging you guys, but I have a few questions about the Montana mod.
1.) How many officers are there in a shift for MPPD? Is it possible to edit the cap limit of officers per shift myself? If so, how?
2.) Why are there only 4 MPFD firefighters available at MPFD's staffing peak in the day? Can't you make more POV models, and more random male volunteers to have 8 people total? [excluding the chief]3.) Are there any plans on making the MPFD engine a 4 seater one instead of a 2 seater one?

Why can't the local FD move out at night? When I call them at night, no volunteer fireman comes. I always have to call the fire brigade from the neighboring townsI noticed this too. At it's peak, MPFD can only have 4 guys for 2 of the 3 trucks, all of which are 2 man staffed units. If you want to use all 3, you need to have two guys on the engine, one in the tanker, and one in the brush. That's how I'd do it.
-
@bama1234 I understand you are one of the devs for the Montana mod, right? Well, do you know how many officers can the MPPD control box call out, like what's the max here? Also, can you like bump up the number of volunteers, and also allow them to respond POV to the station 24/7, please? And can you also allow the MHP and MPPD officers to use bulletproof vests, like with the BCSO deputies?

Yes, that does work if you can catch one of the guys off the tanker, I have done it before. Sometimes I had to have the tanker drive back to the station and drop of the passenger to get the brush truck.
Hey, do you know how many officers does the Monida Pass Police have in the game?

Oh my God I can't believe that actually works! I can now cheat MPFD's staffing shortage! (I don't have the game itself, but I do have the mod installed) Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!
P.S: Itchboy, sorry for cheating the MPFD staffing shortage Actually, not sorry!

@itchboy Hi. I'm just wondering if it's possible to dispatch all 3 units at the MPFD station, with 2 guys on the engine, one in the brush truck, and one on the tanker. Say I dispatch both the engine, and the tanker, and I steal one of the tanker guys to be on the brush. Would that actually work?

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.
