Well first, lets not generalize this as a US thing. This is not the case in all of the US. If you dont mind let me explain roughly how it is done here in my city and county. In terms of Evansville Fire Department which handles the city, I believe there are some ladder trucks, well quints in our case, that carry extrication tools. Quint 9 has jaws and is assigned to the area I live in. There the only ladder truck I know of for sure in the city with extrication tools. Now just a few days ago there was a bad wreck in front of the main entrance to my apartment complex and it is located on a road with a 45 mph speed limit. So I dont know the specifics but I am guessing the PT Cruiser was more or less t-boned(kinf of like this -\ rather then a perfect t-bone like -| you normally see) so you can imagine the damage done to the drivers door. So 9s comes in but they have a combi-tool rather then a dedicated set of cutters or spreaders. Many FFs will claim these tools are a jack of all trades, but a master of none. In other words in most cases they find combo tools arent as effective as compared to a set of cutters and a set of spreaders. Others have said it is a matter of knowing how to operate them. Anyways, we have two rescue trucks in the city. They carry a dedicated set of spreaders and cutters I believe. In this case 9s I assume didnt think they could handle the extrication so Rescue 3 had to be called in to do it, 10 minuets latter(hey there coming from clear across town and Rescue 1 would be to). R3 shows up and do extrication. A few months ago there was a bad accident on the may as well be high way around the corner from here. Q9 did extrication but again had to call R3 for assistance with extrication. Also a few months ago a guy wrapped his car around a tree at a high rate of speed. The driver ended up dieing if memory serves me right but this time Rescue 1 had to be called. My point is while atleast one of our ladders do carry extrication it is still mainly handled by a rescue, however county is a different beast. There are 5 different volly companies that handle the county. Knight Township which is about 1 mile from where I live and makes runs in this area all the time because of district boundaries, carries extrication tools on there primary engine at each station. McCutchanville FD covers the city of McCutchanville and other area outside city limits. I assume there rescue trucks carry jaws in there case. German Township has a Rescue Truck at both stations. In there case the Rescue trucks do carry the extrication tools. Perry Township has a Rescue Truck in one station that carries there extrication tools. The other Perry station houses a 2-man rescue pumper with a mac cab chassis. Scott Township I wanted to break off from the rest because it is a different beast in its self. 4 Medic 1 serves as first due for medical runs. It is a medium duty Freightliner used for patient transport. Now it also carrys some extrication tools. However the heavier tools are carried on 4 Engine 1. Now 4 Engine 2 at Station 2 is considered a Rescue Pumper so they may carry extrication tools on it, not sure. However I have touched on Station 3. Station 3 has a full set of extrication tools on 4 Engine 3 so I assume there are no extrication tools on 4 Rescue 3. I hope I didnt bore you here , but just pointing out that you cant sum things up based on a country, let alone a county.

I thought the EQ2B were only used on the Ambos.

We just had a shooting here today, and it seems to be a growing trend. This isnt the quiet city I grew up in any more thats for sure. My friend across the street lives just a few apartments down from his mother. She had some problems, dont recall exactly what..but yeah my friend called me to let me know for some reason, well I just happen to be getting ready to take my dog out anyways. I get out there and see the Ambo turn in the wrong apartment complex despite the street name and apartment names is the same and theres a big sign which would hint that your in the wrong freaking apartment complex. Fire was called for lift assist as she had to be carried down a flight of stairs on a backboard. Atleast 9s found the place on the first try, dunno if my flagging them down actually worked or not. AMR didnt seem to notice me flagging them down to tell them where to go.

Can someone *Xplorer* reccomend me a good nuke?
Xplorer4x4 replied to Grim_Wizard's topic in [EN] Off Topic
Spybot was great in its day. I pretty much view Malwarebytes as the new Spybot. Anyways to Gerard, first off the best protection you can get is Nod32 and Comodo Firewall. Nod32 costs like $30 or $40 for a year, and is a bit cheaper then that crapware Norton I believe. Avast and AVG are good free anti-virus but no match for Nod32. Malwarebytes is a great back up system. Now will they remove the virus, maybe, maybe not. In most cases yes, so try them first. Specifically Malwarebytes as theres a free version. Now assuming your still stumped, aside from a reformat the next option is F-Secure Rescue CD. This is written in linux and can run right off a CD with no need to install. Simply plug in an Ethernet cable(the update wont work over wireless in my experience) and then scan. It can take some time so it may be good to run while you sleep. -
Have you opened the program and looked? Theres a big button that says registry. Analyze. Let it run. When done click run cleaner.

My ASUS mobo dies in under a year...great products? Sadly I cant agree -
Yes but EMP Staff could lock the thread and refuse to allow the project to be uploaded here if they feel it posses a risk, and beyond that, it really doesnt matter if you think it deserves legal action or not. Thats like saying I can go blow up a car but not go to jail/prison because I dont think I should. The legal system doesnt work that way or it would be chaos. I really have to suggest that it is in your best interest to forget the scanner and work on the rest of the project. Besides I have never heard of any ones game files getting screwed up besides there config and theres back up copies in the download center here. Not to mention you have what seems to be a great project on your hands, so I wish you the best of luck with it, and like I said before Im glad to help if you have any questions.

ffdshow can be set to ignore em4. Personally the first thing I do when installing Win 7 or Vista is disable UAC completely.

Try using the registry cleaner in ccleaner. If that doesnt work, try searching. I know this has been covered before but i dont recall what the fix was.

LA Mod 4x4 w00ds Map v1 Submod Preview

No it will not. -
The scanner thing could pose legal problems I would think since your redistributing the original game files. Maybe not, but something to consider.

I have no idea what you mean about accident calls, but as for the rest:
-
NP, why it went in there is beyond me..
-
I wont be using it myself, but its a great idea. I know its alpha so I dont want to say to much just yet, but it seems like a lot of unneeded options there like save/mod path etc. Show foot prints? Is that even possible in EM4? I like the idea but what about starting off with something perhaps a bit more practical like being able to adjust the freeplay params like how often a certain call happens, enable disable certain calls, etc. Keep up the good work. This may extent out my my realm of programming abilities but feel free to drop me a pm if you need some help here and there.

Yes you can.

Xplorer4x4 replied to FInn Rescue 12's topic in [EN] Off Topic
The topic says desktop AND laptop. The thread says desktop OR laptop. Need to establish that, and you say 700.00. Is that US Dollars? British Pounds? Euros? Finland currency(whatever they use over there)? Pesos? For $700 US Dollars you can build a Core i5 desktop with pretty good performance. However it depends on what you need to do on the computer? Is it mainly for gaming? What games? Is it for school work with minimal gaming? Do you need soemthing for video editing? You get the idea. -
LA Mod 4x4 w00ds Map v1 Submod Preview
Xplorer4x4 replied to Xplorer4x4's topic in Submods [Not released]
Well thats up to the player. I cant force people but what I am saying is with the new LA Mod map, there isnt any dense forest area to really warrant calling in USFS. However this map has a Forrest/camp ground area in the upper right section of the map that imo, is worth calling in the USFS Trucks for. -

You dont. Not with out alot of work more then likley. You would need to read a bunch of scripts and place the appropriate virtual objects on the map using the editor. If a map wasnt specifally designed for a mod, your likley better of leaving it be.
-
Cant keep up as in to many events? If so you can check the tutorials section and adjust freeplay params. Not sure if it works in EM3, but I imagine it does. Cant argue with you there. Desktops will always be better for gaming.

ATM, no, sadly I havent been able to reach helljumper in some time. He sat down to work on it, got it mostly modeled, and then up and disappeared. I know he was really busy with real life, but he has read any messages I have sent to him usually the same day, just hasnt wrote back, so for now the tiller and tower will have to remain. -

Awesome textures. I wondered are you doing the texture from scratch or are these just reskins? -
I believe there is, but then you loose the ability to simply side scroll which, imo, would make the game quite difficult to play.
