A fifth alarm is the highest alarm the FDNY has in terms of preplanning. A sixth alarm and higher is 4 engines and 2 ladders, so they're not considered a traditional alarm way a 1st through 5th alarm would be.

fair enough my mistake

Multiple gas explosions in a one block radius causing the entire block to be involved...thats all I can think of...or maybe a huge warehouse, which would be just as big. 5th alarm assignments are very rare. On 9/11/2001 The highest the alarms got was 5 alarms for each tower. (I guess you technically could make that a 10 alarm assignment)

thats not the case, for example on Tuesday may 22nd a 10 alarm fire was called in Brooklyn after a series of warehouses caught fire, during major fire's its common for alarms to exceed five, i'm sure far far more alarms were called on 9/11 infact a dispatcher on duty that day describes the loss of fire fighters and equipment as "10 alarms worth"

So here goes, adding a tonne new units to fill out the reserve engines and ladders. Then onto freeplay to attempt to create something that could constitute a fifth Alarm, any ideas?

why not have a crane collapse?

I believe there was several over a short period of time that prompted multialarm responses by the fdny :~)

I see your point, and myself I am not a keen multiplayer, never do, didn't really like LA mod MP and hated stupid clans. But gotta say, I love MP on this more than freeplay! The clan uses realistic dispatch and 10- codes, but remains friendly to chat aswell. But regardless, you'll be pleased to hear, the MP map is (for this version) the same as SP, so any bugs in MP will also be in SP, which we have removed from both . But SP development has not stopped either, we're just editing both maps the same amount.

Hope this explained

Thanks dyson thats cleared up my concerns, looking forward to release and the end of my social life

Let me just say, MP is absolutely amazing.. Why would you just want to play single player when you are on with 4 people and doing dispatching and second alarms you name it! Multiplayer is never a focus in a mod, its about time it is ! You will actually love it more than single player ! You will be surprised!

I'm not sure this is the appropriate place to ask but how would you go about signing up for the multiplayer beta , it does sound fun when you put it like that

Hey guys, the mods looking fantastic let me just say that, i dont mean to sound rude, but you guys appear to be spending more time on the multiplayer than developing actual single player game for release, i apologise if thats not the case, but that is how it seems from my perspective.
