Fontana PD? kind of a random guess but I just saw their cars on COPS, and they look pretty similar.

Several people including myself have asked Hoppah to model the LAFD Heavy Rescue. He's stated before that he doesn't wan't to add it since there is already a crane...Perhaps his stance has changed on it, but I doubt it.

It would be very cool, but practically impossible given the game's limitations...I do know that there is a script or command out there for a police car to stop another car... I've never had to use it, and I'm not sure how it works.

Only other one I've come across so far is Burbank

Well, looking at the font, it matches the Los Angeles School Police

Well I have to say that looks a heck of a lot like the USCG Academy Fire Dept utility... but the station and clue don't match, although I've only seen fairly old photos.

I swear I've seen a mod somewhere that had a hose pack close to those...I just can't remember where.I know someone else had also started modeling the various extrication tools... All of which would look awesome in the mod

I'm still impressed... I figured it would take a few more hours than that...Out of curiosity how did you find it?

Ok for this one give me the location and the new department name...

Got it, Garden Grove, CA Engine 1

Sorry I haven't been around for a bit, I've been moving back into school, anyways Pennsylvania State Police Supervisor PSP Motor Carrier Enforcement Unit Erie FD Engine 13 Responding to Automatic Fire Alarm Erie FD Tower 13 Responding to Automatic Fire Alarm As For the Cedar Point photos. I couldn't get permission to take any, but they have 2 utilities, 2 engines, and 3 ambulances.

Honolulu, Hawaii? That's the only yellow trucks I can think of off the top of my head.....but I don't think they have a stripe on their truck

Generally from place I know the response is almost always respond lights and sirens. I really don't know of any places which use the code system. When they do respond no lights and sirens, it is because the nature of the call (like a non-emergency transport) or at the request of the police... So normally either the incident commander or just nature of the call determines the response style.

I was just reminding you not to paint the original file but paint a copy of the file...It can really create some problems if you paint over the original texture files.

You wouldn't need a rural setting, there are plenty, and I mean plenty, of volunteer departmetns that run in urban areas(for example near Washington DC in PG County Maryland). It would be nice to have a rural mod but it wouldn't have to be, and five bays wouldn't be that hard.. Some volunteer departments I know of have multipule stations each having anywhere between three to six bays, and they don't run ems.

That is the file you should need to repaint, just don't paint over the original.

Oh, even a few older than that out there.... I remeber a local department near Johnstown, PA that was running, and I believe still is running an old truck from the 50's as their 2nd engine... As for policies and Special agencies, nationally you do have the USAR Task Forces from all states.. In Ohio, there is a statewide response plan developed post 9/11 by the OFCA, or Ohio Fire Chiefs Association which lays out mutual aid throughout the state and even into local states for major emergencies.It's been very well recieved, and is being adopted by several other states. Also, The office of the state fire marshall along with the fire chiefs associatio, and state fire school have created a few specialized task forces. This includes a Water Rescue Team and USAR team, both also have a set of equipment trailers. The state organizations also have, and provide mobile training equipment for USAR, hazmat, flash over training, etc. for local departments and task forces throughout the state. There are also regional response groups like the COST--Central Ohio Strike Team, which is a USAR and collapse rescue team made up members from central ohio fire departments (their trucks were provided by the OFCA. For Hazmat operations all departments are part of NASTY (I don't remember the acronym definition), is the regional hazmat group. Each depatment possess their own hazmat trucks, but a large disasters will respond as mutual aid, and fufill certain roles such as decon and contaiment. In Pennsylvania, I have seen some places where the county runs the hazmat equipment. These function like the COST team, firefighters from all over use equipment kept at a seperate station.( In the case of Erie Co. the airport). But, I know that the area around Pittsburgh has SHARP which functions along the same lines as NASTY, and has several departments providing pieces of specialized apparataus. In the case of Cambria County, the Hazmat team started when a better off company purchased the piece of equipment, the same also started with the USAR team. Currently the USAR team is still run by the one department, and is part of a multi-county technical recue team. The hazmat truck has been taken over by the county so staffing is provided by many departments and the truck is kept outside of any particular station. Also, the local paid department has purchased a truck they staff and respond as part of the county hazmat team, and other department have purchased equipment trailers, etc. for the team that are station at their indvidual departments. Unlike in SHARP or NASTY, most vehicles are not full hazmat trucks. Also most departments tend to keep some basic hazmat supplies on each truck, normally just some absorbent materials. The multi-department, county specialist teams, tend to keep their equipment outside of fire departments because of the politics that can occur.....especially in volunteer ares. Also,as far as equipment on trucks it varies from department to department. Some run with heavy rescues carrying the extrication equipment, and some run with engine rescues.... As far as other specialized equipment it just depends around here there are no command posts, in PA everyone had a specialized bus or truck for it. Some departments will run HI-X foam trucks, collapse recue trucks, telesquirts, light trucks, air trucks, and heavy duty off road brush trucks. It just depends on what equipment the department has and what the department needs to have for their area. If you want some good examples, I can post some links to western PA fire Departments, it really show cases the variety and customization you see in U.S. fire fighting....anyways didn't mean to ramble on, I hope this helps you.

When you have the mod loaded, the menus are in English. The big thing is the dispatcher will be in German, but the dispatch text will be in English

Well, I'm headed off to Cedar Point for the next two days.... I'll try to get some pics while I'm up there. I know there's a city station right by the park but I also think they have a private apparatus as well......anywasy we'll see.

Nope, There are some user created translations out there, but the game will be in German when you buy it....I have to say though I thought the foreign language thing would be hard, but a combination of playing German Mods and owning 911 First Responders made the transition very easy.

This one is real rough, Ive been through at least twenty good photo sites trying to find it without any luck....is that recent photo of a new paint scheme or is one that's been in use for a while? Absolute closest I've seen to both the cruiser and the bike is Burbank PD.

Sutphen does some good work I always like driving by their plant as well as Horton's to see what they're making.

So far the closest I've seen is El Segundo....but car doesn't match.... Is it Downey PD?

Yep, you got that one fast, hopefully if everything works out I'll be running with them this year. The pictures of course are from a large fire right behind campus last year, at Furhmans Cider Mill, I would have also accepted Millcreek Township as well since they run in both... anyways you're up again Mike

I only sumbled accross photos of it by luck while going through a ton of web pages..... bare with me for a few more seconds I'm gonna make this one interesting...... And I'm Back, Your task is to identify the ladder in picture one by using these on scene photos..You have all the hints I'll give, and as I side note that last photo isn't to helpful but it's a good shot. #1 #2 #3
