Frosty

I'm not skilled to help at all, but keep in mind. If you guys all work together, you could be part of a full mod in EM5. Possibly the first full mod. So, that should be enough motivation to group together with a skinner. I'd recommend group credits though. Instead of picking at what he can't do, you can offer what YOU can do. As long as credit is due, and you guys all work together. Pitch ideas, etc.. Then why not?

Yes i've seen those but nothing for a few months

Sorry to post an old thread but things are getting more active on the forums. http://forum.emergenycgame.com/

Video is from 13-14 years ago. Except for the most resource-strapped departments and communities, most have probably gone to more modern forms of communications that don't cause loud disruptions to their communities.

The Dept. I was in used Pagers, Cellphones and the Siren. Our Siren only got turned on when it was a Second call for a Structure Fire. I responded to a call at 2:30 AM and when I got into the station to suit up I heard the siren for the first time and I was like "HOLY GOOD GOD WHAT AM I HEARING?". Once it shut off it dawned on me what the hell I was listening to, lol.

This mod is pretty dang cool. The only thing I don't like is how there aren't any Medics with the Vol. Station over on the bottom right. Is it possible to have a "Medical" tone out? So Medically trained Vols respond? I think that'd be a lot better so there can be more medics around the map.

One question for you. Do you live in a small town with a Paid Department or a Vol. Department? because there are some big cities that don't have that. Let alone a small town in america. Most small town departments have 1 MAYBE 2 engines,1-2 brush units a tanker and a light rescue. That I personally can tell you because coming from a family that has State fire officials i can tell you that that is what most small town USA towns can have. Also, i'm not trying to start a fight. Just trying to clarify what is reasonable.

I'm not the person who is being referred to but I'd like to add somethings to the debate about Jaws and Units. I Volunteered for a small town (Rural area, only like... 400 people occupied it?) we had one station which housed the following units:

Engine 37-1-1: Had JAWS and was the First Due Engine on 99% of calls

Engine 37-1-2: Older Engine, no longer has JAWS

Tanker: Was purely a tanker, no JAWS.

Ambulance

We also had a Brush truck but that was strictly brush, no tools other than Scott pack and general brush fire stuff you'd need.. Rakes, Shovels, etc, etc.

To be honest, the only apparatus that needs JAWS is Rescue and the primary Engine. Typically, on an MVA the policies are:

Engine Rolls

Resuce Rolls

If they house Ambulances then chuck the Ambulance to the rolling list.

Engine is dispatched in case of a fire and in case they don't have enough manpower to man two vehicles. They'll still have the JAWS.
