Unit 42 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 The tower, tiller, and regular (whatever you call it) ladder can be used in the game. That is a very enjoyable institution in the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIN Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 an engine can handle more then 2 attack lines depending upon the water supply. pressure really doesn't have much to do with it, gallons puts out the fire, not pressure. also, one guy can handle an 1 1/3th line, its done a lot, cities guys do it too. also, you can drive a tiller without guy in the back, lock the wheels. kills the point of it, but it can be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unit 42 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Wow. I never knew that. I learn things. Uhhmmm...question....Will it take long for off map units to come to a fire since the map is so big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter111 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Wow. I never knew that. I learn things. Uhhmmm...question....Will it take long for off map units to come to a fire since the map is so big?First, I believe they said that the maps were actually going to be smaller since there were going to be multiple maps and you can play on each of them in a freeplay game. Second, they said that the units will take varied amounts of time to get to the scene based on where the units are coming from and where the map is. I.E. units from a harlem fire house will get to the map quicker if you're playing on a hells kitchen map than if you were playing on a china town map.

Idk though xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b2bomber Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 not sure, I know the two main ones are 1 3/4 in and 2 1/2 in here in america, 1 3/4 I believe can be ran alone if you do it right, 2 1/2 you need a back-up man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer4x4 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Right, but I was saying that to show how the system would work in the future.Well Tim showed off a program they developed ages ago that would allow you to select various options in regards to the mod, such as play as fire only, ems only, police only, or even play fire and ems only, or police only. It also had the ability to select different maps and so forth. A few pages back they gave a some what detailed situation about how the maps would work but at the same time, left some unanswered questions.

On structure fires interior usally has 2 ff, and exterior often has 1 ff. On other fire types I have seen 3-5 ff on a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIN Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 for attack lines it goes 1 1/2 1 3/4 2 2 1/2 all can be operated by a single man, larger not so much for interior work as far as the single man goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hose beds are designed to be able to pack I think NFPA standards for the USA are 1000 ft of 5 inch line that would be required due to the circumstances of where the truck needs to be compared to the water source.( for example: long distances use would be a lake 700ft away/short distance a tanker 20ft away) Although I am not sure about standard storage compacity but i know it near there.
