Is this mod still being worked on? 

That’s an interesting bed, first time I’ve seen a game warden truck like that.

Perhaps it could be. Nobody will know until someone from there tells us. For now Ill just put an old halogen lightbar on it and it should be good.

I have a question regarding animals. If a cow or similar animal were to go loose, how would it be dealt with? I am considering giving FWP officers a tranquilizer gun so that they can load the animal onto their trucks. I am aware animal trailers exist for a reason but Id like to know what the details are on those.

Another call I have in the mod right now is confiscation of hunted animals. How would FWP go about disposing of the carcass?

The FWP vehicles have been pushed to near completion. All I need are doors and an interior and it should be good.

F350 cab by Ubisoft converted from Driver SF.

FWP don’t handle cows. Domesticated animals (dogs, cows, cats etc) is usually handled by the local PD or sheriff. (Mostly sheriff because most Depts have livestock units). 

FWP usually handle the wildlife, where I’m at in the gulf coast area of Texas they usually handle alligators and snakes. I assume for Montana it would be bison?  

As a police officer I have had a few run ins with cows. What we mainly do is get it out of the roadway (we herd it with our Tahoes or we get the rookies out and try to push them) by that time the owner probably noticed there livestock missing and called us. If not we call the sheriff and they have a few F-250s and trailers and take them to a county contacted animal ranch. 

As for animal carcasses after they take pictures of the animal they send them off to homeless shelters or non-profits that provide food for the poor etc.       

Thats an interesting bed you put on the F-350 did you see the real life version with that? 

Hope that helps!

Well here’s and idea, 

in my career I’ve never heard or seen a Dept requesting mutual-aid for equipment for a car-wreck. Sure I’ve seen we called other units for manpower but we don’t need there equipment. If that makes sense? So like Lima VFD really doesn’t need to be equipped with jaws of life. 

I think the beaverhead EMS crash truck could be useful in its own way. Having this unit on map gives the mod 2 Ems resources. We talked about early having the FD respond to Ems calls we can forget that, If we add there crash truck on map. because gameplay wise you can transport 1 PT then have the crash truck go to the next call stabilize the pt and have the ambulance come back from the hospital to take the next pt or request an off map ambulance.

As for the equipment on the Ems truck that’s up to you, I needed to be refreshed on what you plan to add to the fire Dept on map. I’ve played the Montana mod v2? And idk if you plan to keep the 2x engines, brush truck and command unit. But if 1 FD unit on map has jaws of life and you can call DVFD rescue truck for more major calls like water rescues or if you needed the jump-pad then there is no point the have any rescue equipment for Ems truck besides a medical bag.  

Yes, the EMS truck will carry everything on medic (ambulance) plus tools (jaws of life) for an extrication (car wreck), but it will not transport.

It’s should be staffed with a 2 rescue medics (medics who has some extricating training) to cut them out of a car. My depts squad 2 as stated above is a great example of it, (because it carries medical equipment and a set of “jaws of life”) 

Put a box on the back of a pickup (make it level with the cab) then make compartment doors all over it. Look up “Frazer UCV” 

As for the Lima truck yes it should have a medical bag. (Also if it’s the truck on top of the page I suggest we name it rescue or squad  because brush truck implies it’s only for wildland fires)  

this truck is similar to my depts booster truck, they probably use it for the following (this is what I’ve gathered from the spreadsheet) 

-car wrecks (carries the “jaws of life” first out to that)

-brush fires, due to 4x4 and 300gal tank. 

-probably first out medical vehicle, if the ambulance is out of district this truck fills in as a first responder vehicle (Stabilizes the patient till ambulance comes)

-manpower vehicle, it’s the only 4 seater in there fleet. 

-(this one more of a real life issue vs mod) idk the rules for Montana but in Texas to drive a engine (26,001 pounds or more gvwr) you need a class B license. Meaning if there no one at the station with that they take this truck to all the Structure fires. 

Which Dept mentions it? 

If its beaverhead EMS, it’s most likely a F-350 or bigger pickup with roll-up drawers or cabinets in the bed of the truck that has rescue equipment. A new example of this my depts new squad 2 look it up on our site http://www.sanleonvfd.net/.

If you are referring to Lima Fire Dept, it’s a mini-pumper. So it’s a F-550 (2004) with a rescue body on the back with water and a pump. If you aren’t going to use the Ambulances they have. Then just put a medical bag on this truck and it can dual as a first responder vehicle and rescue truck. 

To add on to what Olympus said, 

I am a volunteer firefighter in a rural Dept as well with roughly 10-15 volunteers with a population of 6-7 thousand. people. Our area shares 1 ALS  ambulance with another area. That means there’s 1 ambulance for a population of 20-30 thousand people.

Because of that my Dept has created a first responder program (we don’t transport only provide BLS care) We have built a light rescue truck (formerly a SUV)  to handle all the medical calls. Besides basic transport calls we will respond with the Ambulance in are area. So that means we show up before the ambulance get there and we do support BLS.

 If the ambulance is out of the area (closest hospital is 10 miles away). We will handle all the medical incidents in the area, meaning we will mutual- aid the other city (they don’t have a medical program) for medical calls and we wait till either a ambulance from another city comes or ours returns. 

I don’t know what kind of EMS is planned to be on the map, but if there only is going to be 1  ambulance. I strongly suggest give the VFD a suv or medical truck (they don’t have to transport just like us) but they can help stabilize the PT till a ambulance can get there.

My Dept calls are roughly 85% medical, 3% structure, 8% MVAs (wrecks), 5% trash fires/ grass fires/ other.  

I do love your brush truck, that plus 2 engines maybe a tanker, a squad or resuce truck (F-350, or pickup) and a command unit and that’s basically what half VFDs in Texas have for apparatus.

Population of only 8,000 and 4 stations? They must have a huge budget. 

Might I make a suggestion 1 caprice/ 1 CVPI? 

Also have you considered just making the Tahoe a slicktop marked unit? I know a few small depts around me to save on vehicles  when to slicktops because light bars are $$$. 

Keep up the good work!

As long as roof rails are removed and maybe some steel wheels that truck would look good. 

For variety I would suggest 1 caprice and 1 lumina

On that topic, I've settled on a marked Chevy Cavalier for the 2 sedans, one marked Tahoe for the higher rank officer's vehicle, and then the unmarked is an early 2000's Ford Taurus. 

I'm interested in replacing the Cavalier and just doing Caprices for marked patrol units but most have been shifted elsewhere as you've seen.

I can't wait to see that Tahoe, sounds good 

Looks good, what kind of units would

you expect on map?

Personally I think the HEMTT would be a better fit for the mod, It shows that the dept doesn't have a lot of money. Because a conventional tanker can cost anywhere between 100,000-500,000 depending on the specs. Also it would keep the rural like fire dept aspect as well, since this can go way off-road compared to a normal tanker. This plus a few brush trucks and a type 3 wild-land truck would make wildfires easy to contain.

Now that you brought this up, I realized there's another possible setup we could run. Town PD would have the Intrepid as a marked vehicle instead, and the older Ford or Pontiac could work as an unmarked car.

That works I liekd the impalas you had the older halogen lightbars that would look good on the intrepid. Then like a dark blue/black  taurus or 4 door grand am would look good.

On map town PD is either going to get an old Tahoe or an old Ford type deal. Sheriff already have enough pickups and SUV's.

In the fictional history of Monida VFD, it doesnt really have much to donate in the first place. They're the ones on the recieving end of the donation train. Their chief vehicles for example are all POV's owned by the chief themselves.

Fair enough, as for the PD unmarked a late model taurus or a Pontiac

Just now, itchboy said:

The mod will have plenty of older vehicles in the fire side of things. We'll have an 80s Chevy van, an 80s  Chevy pickup, a 90s Ford pickup, and numerous commercial cabs from the 80s.

I was about to add in my comment, back story wise have a red older SUV and say it was dontated to the PD after use in the fire dept. 

When it comes to cars, I personally think the  intrepid is the best bet.

The MHP Impalas are one regular unit and one slicktop. I'm thinking that such a setup should be enough for variety's sake. I dont want to add too many kinds of vehicles because they all serve the same gameplay purpose anyway. The town PD Impalas are older gen ones, so I consider them different from the newer bubble ones. Sheriff really has the most variance with the Explorer, Ram and CVPI. I am still willing to consider other unconventional options for town PD.

As for the number of vehicles for PD, I believe they are consistent for the theme of the mod. There isnt really much that goes on in that type of area so what I have planned for PD to handle are traffic accidents, domestic disputes, theft, investigation and the rare officer down call. Homicide and missing persons are planned, which would give detectives some purpose ingame.

I will of course be adding in the calls relating to FWP just so the player has something different to do. It will mostly be the same 'question these people' tasks, but I think it should be sufficient.

I agree with the number of units, I was just throwing out ideas, i just felt the impala was getting all the spotlight.

I look forward to see the unmarked PD unit, have you considered maybe like an older model SUV or pickup.

No worries.

The highway patrol doesnt use Caprices. The Tahoe had to go because it is a K9 unit, and as for newer vehicles, I dont want to put in Tauruses or Explorers in order to keep the rustic rural feel.

The Intrepid I wanna do is an 04 model. The highway patrol did use them and I would like to make a backstory where HP tested an Intrepid, hated it and then donated it to the town police dept.

A 90s Caprice or Vic has been on my mind, but I doubt they'd be in use in the year 2013.

That's a good idea with the intrepid.

The only thing I'd see is the fact you are using the impala (2 for PD and 2 for hwy patrol as well as the unmarked sheriff one) id just like to see more of a variety of cars. So maybe like an older Tahoe, charger, or crown Vic.  

Sounds good, personally I'd go with Tahoe for traffic unit and dodge intrepid

I know in the 90s the Intrepid was used a lot. Have you considered a 90s model caprice?

It sucks, that you removed the highway patrol units. I liked the SSV tahoes and caprices. It looked like the one Dept with money lol. 

I'm going to throw this suggestion out, have you considered adding a 4wd pickup or SUV to the police Dept or sheriff office? It would make sense to me because of the rural/off road area. 

2015/2016 Police Tahoe? 

Good luck!

Those are some... interesting color schemes. 

Engine 1 looks good.

I like the look of the expedition better

Good enough for me. Be cool if it made a slick top PD car. (Patrol 2 or supervisor)

Mod is really looking good.
