No,we have kept it to Surrey RCMP,Surrey Fire and BCAS units only for now.The other units are completed and will be added at a later date.We decided to do this to focus more on the map and less about adding units.

Cool, thanks!

I think I read back a few years ago (2012) in this thread that there were going to be some Abbotsford Police units ... is this still happening?

Looking forward to it!

Anyone ever watch Third Watch? That show made me have aspirations to become a firefighter!

Stoked for this mod to come out!!

Abbotsford Police have a pretty cool paint scheme.. not many western canada municipal police agencies have the black/white paint scheme.

Sorry, on your most recent post of the Hazmat unit

Loving the light bar!

It actually won't be that sophisticated. Instead of using the unit menu to send the city's fire trucks, you use it to call the volunteers onto the map, and tell them where you want them to go (to the station or the scene). Most of it is done manually by the player.

 

If you send the volunteers to the station they'll park in their spots, go inside, get geared up, and wait for you to assign them to a truck.

 

If you send them to the scene, they can do what they can until a truck arrives, or move in to assist if a truck is already on scene.

 

BMA has also given me a script that prevents you from moving vehicles that aren't occupied. So if you want to bring the city's fire trucks and ambulance to the scene, you'll have to send volunteers to the station to get them and drive them.

 

You can still call in units from the county fire department directly from off map, but it will take a while for them to get on-scene.

Very interesting & cool concept. So once a POV unit is called on the map.. do we click that POV unit and there will be a 'command' to send him to the hall? That would be very sophisticated! I know on our hall there's been a few calls where POV's would have to attend directly to scene.

Good luck

Just want to give everyone a quick update, I'm still working hard on the map, it's around 20% done at this point, but looking great. BMA and I are in collaboration to make a simple volunteer fire response script, but can't put it to use until the new map is done. Just about every model is being replaced with an American counterpart. Tons of new road signs, road textures, utilities, you name it. Expect new media within a week or so. Feel free to ask questions.

Hey Bama, thanks for the update. As a volunteer FF in Canada, I am quite intrigued in the volunteer script. Can you go into a little detail on how the script will work? Really looking forward to this!

229A is the exact heli we just landed the other day! It'll be neat to see it in this mod and to utilize it!

Thanks very much for the answers

Apologies if this question is out of line or has already been asked. Will you be including the BCAS medivacs? I understand that they aren't used as much in the city but living out in the fraser valley, my department has had to setup quite a few landing zones and was curious if you would include the BCAS medivac at some point?
Would be very interesting to see a representation of that in this mod.

Keep up the great work!

Here's an older picture of the TEC units,the white plow is a Surrey city unit and the orange would be a highways plow.The grader and a front end loder(not pictured) would also be available to use.

Definitely don't forget the possibility of a snowplow rollover call! Had one the other day

Just dropping in to give my two cents! I'm with the Chilliwack Fire Department and I have to say those engines look sick! I'm lovin' that LaFrance too, almost looks like our old E1

Great work!
