If I wanted to remove a vehicle from a station, how would I go about doing that? Simply delete the box-thingy (prototype?) in the editor? And if I wanted to change the model of a truck, would I simply replace the model with the one of the same name and ensure it had a skin?

Why can't SCBA FFs change into regular gear and vice versa? Kinda gets on my nerves and makes it odd to run MVCs when all your truck and engine crews are in SCBA and can't change out.

Launch both of those helicopters and advise Dispatch to locate the nearest MedFlight, LifeNet, etc. base and ask for two additional birds. Depending on how close you are to the coast, you could possibly contact the Coast Guard. And yes, simply replace city buses with school buses.

Is that more of a yellow or an orange? Hard to tell in the pic. Either way, it looks great!

Respond an automatic third alarm, and request a special rescue assignment to the scene--should give me at least 2 Rescues, 3 Aerials, and 5-6 engines, as well as 2 ALS ambulances and a two chief-level officers. Call an additional 3 BLS ambulances and 2 ALS ambulances to the scene. Strike out the closest Confined Spaces/Building Collapse rescue team we can get. Strike out both MCI buses and notify law enforcement to began evacuating within a 1/2 mile radius until we can determine what's in the remaining railcars. Activate municipal (if applicable), county (if applicable), and regional HAZMAT resources. Call MCI alert at the local hospital and put both them, the local burn center, the local trauma center, and the next-closest general hospital on alert. Establish an LZ near the command post and launch 2 helicopters, with additional 1 on standby. Request 3 TAC channels from Dispatch, one for Fire Ops, one for Rescue Ops, and one for Command. Establish and follow FEMA Incident Command System. Assignments as follows: First-arriving units: Use binoculars to scope out train for HAZMAT placards. Provided no toxic placards are found, it continues as follows: Rescue 1: Recover the engineer and conductor of the train. Rescue 2: Recover the train manifest and any other documentation. Engine 1, 2, 3, 4, Ladder 1, 2, 3: Defensive firefighting. Protect the exposures, let the remainder burn. Engine 5, 6: Begin triaging and recovering RED tagged patients. ALS Ambulance 1, 2: Establish a triage site at Forward Command and receive patients. BLS 1, 2, 3, ALS 3, 4: Transport RED-tagged patients. Incident Command: Activate local EOC. Strike additional alarms as necessary. Commandeer city buses for transport of walking wounded and evacuation.

Ack, please post here. Some of us others are curious as well.

I wish I would like that post, but I can't. To use my department as an example, we serve an area of a few hundred people, with a lot of farmland. Do you know how many hydrants we have in our district? Zero. None. We have to cross into the next county to fill from a hydrant. We have 2 tankers and would be totally unable to do without them. Our mutual aid is only 10-15 minutes away, but they're not familiar with tanker ops. They have hydrants. We, on the other hand, can run tanker ops like nobody's business. As he said, they're not a luxury, they are a necessity.

Loving Brush 3. A neighboring department here has one like that, and we're thinking about a similar truck being our next purchase.

I am extremely happy to announce that my department is in the process of getting a set of extrication tools, making us able to perform our own extrication, without relying on County EMS and mutual aid! The tool will be placed on Engine 13-1. See the last post on the last page for reference.

Yep, that's it. We got it from the Department of Homeland Security for free, so it sits in our empty bay.

Most rural departments have an engine, brush, and tanker as a minimum. My volunteer department, which is mostly rural with a village and an asphalt plant in our coverage, along with LOTS of farmland, has 2 engines, 2 tankers, 2 brush trucks, and a light plant. Only one engine and one brush truck are newer than 2000. And the engine was bought with insurance money, might I add.

Aiken Rescue, Inc. of Aiken, South Carolina. The truck is a remount of a 1997 MedicMaster box onto a 2014 Kenworth chassis. The truck has dual Whelen sirens, a Rumbler, and a Federal Q. He is equipped with air ride suspension. His lighting is entirely LED, all Whelen. In the patient compartment, he has a unique function built into his lights: blood lights. When turned on, they will illuminate blood and other bodily fluids in the patient compartment. The truck is affectionately named "Scotty" in honor of Aiken Department of Public Safety Master Public Safety Officer Scott "Scotty" Richardson, who was shot and killed in the line of duty on 21 December 2011. Unit 106 (which was then the box on a Freightliner chassis) responded and was the truck that transported MPSO Richardson to the Medical College of Georgia. The moniker "Scotty" has remained with the truck ever since. The truck was remounted due to an incident in which a drunk driver struck and totaled Unit 106. Fortunately, the box was salvaged and remounted. He is overwhelmingly the "favorite" of all Aiken Rescue members, in particular due to the sentimental value attached.

Here at my fire department, we have a single station. We're a rural department consisting of mostly farmland and houses, plus we have a single asphalt plant in the district. Our station has seven bays. We have the following units: Engine 13-1 (1970s engine, second-due to structure fires, first-due to vehicle fires) Engine 13-2 (2012-ish engine, first-due to structure fires and brush fires) Tanker 3 Tanker 4 Squad 13 (early 2000s GMC pickup with a skid unit mounted in the bed. 4 airpacks in cab.) Truck 13 (1980s minipumper/brush truck. Few hundred feet of hose, some minor tools. Last-out to any call unless we can't fit 13-1 or 13-2 down the driveway, then this vehicle becomes first-in) We have zero capabilities other than firefighting. No first responder, no type of rescue, no extrication capabilities.

And on the note of purchasing your own helmet: It's extremely common here in the US for a firefighter, especially volunteers, to purchase their own helmets if they so desire. For instance, a friend on a neighboring department to mine purchased a new helmet for himself--an all-leather New Yorker with a leather shield, because he wasn't satisfied with the helmet his department provided. It's rather common to purchase your own helmet here.

Move your mouse cursor to the left side of your screen and bring up the search menu. Simply search for Emergency 4 Editor and click it. It's what I do all the time.

Looks real nice! Now included in my personal LA mod edits.

http://trashtrampoline.org/sigs/supersiren/ Click the power switch and have at it. Not at all sirens can be played at the same time, but some can.

Some updates for SC: Light color: Red, white, and blue are legal. Common sense dictates that blue is not used, as blue is exclusively used on police vehicles here by tradition. Lights: Visibility must be 360 degress by law, but this is often overlooked as long as you have front, rear, and intersection lights. Most chiefs require lights on the highest point of the car, aka, an exterior light. Siren: Anything. So long as it makes sound. We're authorized to use bells, whistles, sirens, and horns. (literally). I know of many people (not just FFs) that have train horns on their POV. Mostly for the shiggles. You are also required to be interior-certified to run lights (or a first responder). Department chiefs are allowed to impose whatever restrictions they like, to include no lights at all, etc. My department requires you to not run lights until 17, regardless of certification. A neighboring department requires you to be 17, interior-certified, and disallows code 3 response to AFAs and brush fires w/o endangered structures. Many chiefs also require a class on POV Response.

Here in SC, we use National Fire Protection Association training standards. Firefighter I and IIs are capable of assisting with extrication, but not actually doing it, EXCEPT for the act of popping a door with a Halligan. That's a FF1 skill. However, Basic Automobile Extrication teaches you a few basic things about extrication such as using spreaders and cutters, etc. There is also Advanced Auto Ex and Auto Ex Technician. I'm not sure what specifically they entail, but I plan on going all the way to Technician Instructor.

Not sure if you already have one, but make a TEC center. Tows spawn and return to there, and an engineer's van can be parked there.

I've heard that Fenix is good.

Around here, all volleys have a pager. That said, some also have department-issued radios, and some have personally-owned radios. I have my department-issued Minitor III. Our pages also get sent out via text/email, so I get them no matter what. I'm looking into getting an HT750, though, so I have the ability to monitor a few other departments, as well as get better reception and have the ability to talk if I need to, i.e., if I run up on something on one of the backroads around here.

Sorry mate, but the submod was stopped a while ago due to a lack of time, scripting skills, mapping skills, and modelling skills. If you've got any of those and would like to contribute, please message me.

Does anyone have the Aarhus Mod and be willing to upload it? The three links in the Aarhus thread are all broken.

Yeah, here in SC a tanker is a truck, and so is a tender. Planes are also tankers, but they're not tenders. Neither tankers nor tenders have master streams or a pump.
