In regards to treating on scene and not transporting, I am not sure how BCAS operates, but in each instance I have worked with EMS in Alberta, regardless to how small/big the situation is, once EMS is dispatched to a medical emergency they are obligated to transport if thats what the patient desires. If the patient for whatever reason has EMS dispatched and then refuses transport afterwards, then EMS can treat and leave if they deem its not an issue that needs ER attention.

With transporting though, most people tend to believe that calling EMS gets them into the ER faster than just driving themselves in, and so they bite the $800+ Ambulance bill and call with their small issues. However with smaller issues the ER staff can make a patient that comes in with EMS wait in the waiting area, as there still is a "sickest/most injured get seen first". So those that call EMS with their small cough in hopes to get in and out faster get screwed with a $800+ bill and a 1-2 hour wait anyways.

Thats my rant. Like I said basing off what I see with my areas EMS, if the pt is requesting transport, EMS is incapable of refusing transport.

I say A. Even though MP is fairly common with EM4, it's something that I think would further downtime the developers as they will have to try to optimize everything to work correctly in MP. Just means more testing in the longrun, and like said before one can't turn down a bag of cool stuff

My Volunteer Fire Department issues a Cairns 1044 Defender. It has a built in safety-glass shield, however I'm not entirely sure I like it or not.

Awesome work! Downloading now

Or you could just have a button to play the tones like the Brooklyn Mod, and then still call the volunteers the same way we do now, so that those who don't want to hear tones every time they dispatch a unit out they don't have to...

It's all personal preference.

EMT's down here can do any pre-hospital care such as IV's. They cannot issue any medications though. Only a trained paramedic can issue a medication whilst enroute to the hospital.

I don't hold a medical field (EMT, EMR, Paramedic, etc), however, I do operate with my local volunteer fire department which provides a medical team to the regular fire response area, as our fire response area is very rural, and we are able to arrive on scene and give care to patients before the ambulance can get on scene. We have to undergo an actual medical basics course which provides us with the basics to perform a successful job in order to respond with the medical team.

It also allows us to provide vital information to the EMS crews responding, such as BP, O2 Sat, etc.

You want realistic? There you go. While truly realistic would take much longer to connect a hose I find 5 seconds a nice compromise.

And paramedics don't run to patients. At least I don't, not to mention paramedics are nothing but stretcher fetchers. The doctors actually treat and they run.

Even then running with a stretcher is very difficult. Atleast that's what I've heard, I haven't actually tried it or anything... 

And as well, it takes at least one minute to get a conscious, cooperative patient on the stretcher, strapped down, and ready to move. Five seconds is damn near nothing.

I sent the RCMP skins I have completed to Kingairway, but here's a video of what I have.

If the original mod creator allows it and enough demand shows for my textures then sure.

It's not only New York City that has the issue of vehicles failing to yield for emergency traffic. It's been noted in various other videos and news outlets of vehicles that don't yield. In fact I recently saw a news coverage of an Ambulance in Edmonton trying to get through rush-hour traffic with a police escort and vehicles just froze right in the middle of the lane. The ambulance had to go off the road just to get around the vehicles.

The common issue is that most drivers just don't understand what they need to do when an emergency vehicle is approaching. Unfortunately it just seems to be a topic that's not covered in drivers training or that's not payed much attention to.

CORONAS and Misc Audio PATCH 1.1: ( Copy and Past into Data/Textures/Coronas and for Misc Data/Audio/FX/Misc)

How do I get rid of the white squares when I turn the lights on for some vehicles?

Download the patch above from either link, and place the coronas folder in the Data/Textures folder in the main EM4 install folder, replace all files and the white squares should be gone.

I made a few edits to some of the skins, figured I'd show them just for fun. Notable changes are window bars, redone stripes and rear decals. Plus better text for unit #'s and RCMPGRC branding.

By the looks of it from Google Images, the LACoFD squad trucks use the Code 3 RX2700.

When is the projected release date of this mod?

Expected release: when the creators feel the mod is done and release it.

Nice to hear, I wish more police forces would equip and train their officers in EMS. Imagine if every cop was a EMR or a EMT and equipped accordingly how many lives could be saved, even in the big cities with fast FD/EMS response times.

I particularly feel those who are staffed in/around rural areas should be required to get an EMR/EMT level certification due to the long response time of first responders. There are a few RCMP members I know of who have EMR level certifications, but I've never run into a fully trained EMT for the RCMP. As far as I'm aware it's completely up to the individual to fund and attend the courses for EMR/EMT. I've heard of police officers in bigger cities who have their full paramedic though, but it's rare within a rural detachment.

But, with a fully stocked and maintained first aid kit, AED, and whatever other medical items a member may choose to carry in their duty bag, it is more than enough to cover the gap between the initial incident and the time care is provided.

Oh, there's snow!!   The moves that the police officer performes look pretty realistic but do they have defibrillators in the car in reality or is it a feature of the game? Thanks for the footage.

Most RCMP vehicles, especially rural RCMP detachments, do carry AED devices and first aid kits in their patrol vehicles, and all members of the RCMP are certified in CPR + AED. This is primarily because when in rural areas, where it can take up to 7 minutes for a fire department to even LEAVE the fire hall, and in a lot of cases in my area, takes an ambulance 15-20 minutes to arrive, there needs to be some way to reduce the time from the start of the heart stopping, or the initial incident, to the time care is given. Often times the RCMP manage to get to calls in rural areas much quicker than the fire department and EMS, because they have fast vehicles, and less speed restrictions whilst responding hot, whereas us firefighters generally travel with large apparatus such as a fire engine, and are only even allowed to travel 15 kilometers over the speed limit with lights and sirens (dependent on the department, I'm stating from my own department policies).

I'd apply, but I've never been involved with a modding team or have any modding experience other than skinning. Shame. Oh well, best of luck to those who apply.

No, he has pictures of the new engines on his profile, haha.

Some departments or firefighters can choose to have designated training gear, apart from their field gear. I know in my department we train with our field gear, but we're all free to purchase our own gear for either purpose, training or field. So long as it matches everyone else's and is NFPA Compliant. All depends on the department or firefighter. To answer the OP, yes they are the same company.

That looks awesome! Keep up the good work

Absolutely amazing!!!

Alot of departments HIRE at young ages such as 18, 19, but like squamishfire said, they may not even accept you until you're 25ish. The ones who normally get in under that have either had alot of experience (did some sort of volunteering with the PD, or lots of misc experience), had some other family in the force or are an extremely good applicant. (Speaking at an RCMP level, that is, not sure about municipal or provincial levels).

First aid and Army Cadets would probably get you in very easily, but also consider doing things like volunteering around your community (Library, Arena, etc), sometimes Fire Department even have programs such as Junior Firefighter programs for those under 18 where you can receive free First Aid training.

Another thing you could do is apply for the Canadian Forces at 16 for the Reserve Force, and they will send your application to the RCMP if you're denied or if you request it when you plan on leaving (I think... I'm only just starting the application process with the forces, they said they can send the application to the RCMP.)

So yeah, there's actually quite a bit you can do to assist your application, just need to look out for opportunities.

They want it to be perfect before they release it, and I am willing to wait as long as it takes, even if it takes another 2 years!

Looks amazing!
