New York Modification {In Progress}

[RuralFirefighter]

I have a question about SCBA: When you're firefighter runs out of air in the cylinder, can you go to a truck to get it refilled or will they just replace the cylinder/pack?

[shadowzuziz]

i dont know how things work for new york ff's but in vancouver here the ff's dont bring extra bottles up to buildings they just come back down for a new one

[mclovin]

Chicago is the same way. It is a lot of extra weigh that they don't need to carry. Chicago has a separate unit that just carry's scuba tanks. I think all North America fire departments are this way.

I did not mean that they literally bring another cylinder with them - I meant do they go to a special truck to refill the cylinder using a cascade system or do they just get a new pack.

[Steve Winters]

Hey FTW TUT, how's the mod coming along?

Yes for major working fires most fire departments have cascade trucks on-scene to refill the SCBA bottles. Normally the firefighter hands them the empty bottle and grabs a full spare off their engine/ladder/etc to use. I hope that answers your question

I was curious as to what apparatus would be doing that in this mod.

[shadowzuziz]

yeah theres a truck like that the fdny calls it mask service unit a big truck full of tanks. this is a bit of topic but have you guys ever heard there's a truck called the canteen truck that brings hot lunches to the fire sence i just thought it was kinda cool

Yeah, our USAR trucks have a canteen attachment too (we call them the Welfare Units). They're only meant to be dispatched to long calls, since the firefighters will need energy to keep doing their job for the whole thing. They're also there to keep morale up (I think ours have TVs for this purpose too).

I suppose you could include micro-management at that level, but it might get a bit difficult to deal with, having to ensure that your firefighter's needs are satisfied when you have to handle so many on those calls.

[JimmyKid]

My department uses the Heavy Rescues to hold spares, one whole compartment full. It's a lot of tanks...

[FFW TUT]

M.S.U. is included so back to topic

[Unit 42]

Will we be able to hook up a ladder pipe?

[WelshManDan]

FFW TUT, do you need any 3D models? Either for your Environmental buildings, or even Trucks (not too good with cars though). Ive got a lot of freetime now, and would love to make some models for you

I think your a little late as a lot of the models are done

[MikeyPI]

This game isnt the sims keeping morale up would make me shoot my FFs and call in fresh units.

[denicz]

What is the difference between squad and engine?

[MikeyPI]

Squads are apparently more diverse in what they are equipped to handle, they can do more varying tasks an engine is more designated for fighting fires only, not hazmat, or all the other things... But i'm not 100% on that one.

[Jakethejake]

I believe that FDNY has basically done away with hooking a ladder pipe to an aerial ladder. They have a ton of 75' and 95' tower ladders. When they need to flow from above, they bring in the towers. I have seen fires where they have backed a straight stick out of the block so that the tower ladder could get into position. I am not sure if the game will represent this though.

your right mikey squad has a lot more equipment especially special equipment unlike the engine that only has basic equipment on use to basically just fight fires

[jerome]

A squad is a mini rescue that runs hazmat, But can work as an Engine or Ladder company if its needed

[Unit 42]

For the siren, with trucks that may have Q's or anything close to that (Squad 18 has one if you put it in there), can we wind those up ourselves by just pressing a button or does it only work with Whelen, Pa300's, etc?

[JimmyKid]

Will there be automatic alarms? Like (not sure if real) if a smoke detector goes off, all you would get is unknown fire. If so, would there be false alarms, and a panel to reset the system? (I believe this is in the winterberg mod)

I imagine we can, all they have to do is take their existing scripts and put the Q sound in.

[MoonCressler]

i woudln't be surprised if they made AFA the berlin mod has them but we'll just have to see

[Kookas]

No, it's not that simple if you want a dynamic wind-up sound which winds up when you press the button. That isn't possible unless EM4 has a pitch parameter for its sounds.
