Port Police and LAPD dive teams are focused more on criminal investigation and evidence recovery then on life saving rescue. While they do train and work beside LAFD and LACoFD's dive teams in rescue situations, they, like the FBI's Dive Unit in LA are primarily focused on Law Enforcement related underwater issues.

Would a LAFD SWR team be more appropriate?

So is the Get Stretcher command if Im not wrong.

Can you apply it to firefighters?

How about having paramedic be able to change into turnout gear with a blue helmet. They could have a measure of protection from the fire and they could heal. They would be able to use fire extingushers and such, but not hoses and cutters. This still doesen't solve the problem of a paramedic FF though.

Make them firefighters with the 'Heal' command. And give firefighters the 'Get Stretcher' command? I'd be up for that.

@Renal try to use EDIT button for double post

If you're a moderator, can't you?

Briefly on the subject of vans, what do LAPD use to transport larger numbers of officers around?

yeah but the hazmat guys cant use fire hoses so putting out fires is hard if there is a chemical leak or cloud they get contaminated and fall down or you have to heal all of them after the fire is out so the hazmat firefighters should be able to use hoses and connnect to firetrucks it would be alot easier

What do they do IRL?

Cheers for the links, doesn't really explain the rationale, but nevermind.

Yep, Helimed 57, Wales Air Ambulance Service, Swansea. next?

Air Ambulance in Mumbles, Wales.

Which air ambulance?

Only altered to remove the registration.

The name of the country and the department please:

That's a particularly obscure one, but it's Royal Navy, something to do with their nuclear accident response unit up in Faslane.

Can we have little cars that can turn into motor boats, and airplanes? All classes can go in them, and the car can heal. It also has gun ports and rocket launchers, and scuba suits. It can teleport.

Fantastic! At least one person on here has a sense of humour.

My only complaint was that he forgot to ask for a choice of lightbar and siren.

los angeles county dept of health services, which oversees all EMS in the county, has a rule/protocol stating that ALS/paramedic units, whether they are squads, ambulances, engines, must have 2 paramedics on board in order to respond to emergency calls as ALS units

Very odd. Over here, an the equivalent would be a paramedic resource, that is, a car, bike, motorbike or even an ambo that has a paramedic on - hence, we could provide ~200 paramedic units at any one time rather than 100 (still appallingly low mind) meaning that we double the number of punters who can get paramedic care (not that you need that for itchy teeth).

And what ALS kit do you need? A few venflons, drugs, fluids and airways? They're not all that expensive when you consider the cost of the paramedic in the first place.

Good googling http://www.bromley.gov.uk/advice/emergenci...re_stations.htm

Wow. I think...

what is usar?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_search_and_rescue

Paramedic can be either a full Paramedic resource, or a Paramedic Assessment resource, and BLS is staffed with all EMT-B level personnel.

I've never understood the rationale behind having paramedic trucks and EMT trucks - why don't they split 41 of those para crews to make 82 mixed crews meaning that every punter gets a paramedic?

Because that's realistic? you wouldn't think that somebody carrying the Jaws of Life could walk as fast as a ferrari?

Indeed. But if the walking speeds are hard coded and can't be changed, how do they change?

The walking speeds of all persons are hardcoded. When you add a certain command to a person he will walk slower.

In this case the "Dive" command is connected to a slower walking speed.

And animations can't be changed to another speed.

Why do the walking speeds change when people are carrying objects?

USCG helicopter that can winch people up from water?

Depends what you want to know about it

Heh.

Well, I understand that it's a more complicated version of EM4 with more commands and specific techniques.

I was wondering whether it's good? Fun? Buggy? Problematic? Anything really.

Cheers.

Can somebody please tell me what the difference between a quint and an engine/pumper is?

A quint is a pump with a ladder on top.

It irritates me that you can't use the motorboat to ferry units across the river.

there is still another task you need to do but you'll figure that part out if ya have not failled already due to it.

Got it thanks

I would suggest that any large international city would be good and most people would enjoy that.

However, I would suggest New York because most people are very familiar with their fire and police departments through the media and the copious amounts of information online.
