Newfoundking Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 now I fill both stations, send a EMS supervisor out, 2 motorcycle units, 1 motor boat at the island (deluxe) 2 Patrol cars, place a CHP unit on the highway, and put a supervisor SUV at the station. I won't call anything off map after that except for tech vans, tow trucks and the occassional US&R dog for missing persons..Everything else I handle with my on map teams...Sometimes I will adjust the unit staffing manually, like for bird flu, I'll send an ambulance with 2 hazmat officers if it is by station 1..

Shadylasse Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I buy full a full firehouse, closes the gates on both houses, and puts roof on. Afterwards i buy one CHP Patrol car with one CHP Officer, and makes that cruiser patrol. Then i buy an EMS supervisor vehicle, and puts a Supervisor + a normal Paramdic in it (I bind that as Hotkey #1).At a fire:I send the Supervisor vehicle to the destination, afterwards i judge the situation and send nessesary units.Let's say a fire in a villa neighboorhood:EMS Supervisor calls:1 Aerial Ladder1 BLS Engine2 ALS Engines1 ALS AmbulanceThe CHP Patrol Cruiser.-And if nessesary a Foam TenderNatural Gas Explotion:EMS Supervisor is at distance from toxics and calls:1 HAZMAT Squad1 USAR Rescue2 BLS Engines2 ALS Engines1 Aerial Ladder3 ALS Ambulances1 BLS AmbulanceThe CHP Cruiser + additional LAPD Backup2 LAX Airport Engines2 Foam Tenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go by the actual LAFD dispatch policy for most of my calls. But due to the differences of the game and real life I have to make adjustments to it a little.

Guest BeEaSy Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I fully staff House 1 with the engines and don't ever call for anymore that that.I only buy one more ambulance and that is the LAX ambulance. I throw a FF/Paramedic in the BLS ambulance up north. I take all of my ambulances and patrol them. They never go back to HQ ..as soon as they clear the hospital, I put them back on the road so that they never go to HQ. If there's a number of medicals I send an ALS engine to standby along with a cop until the ambulance can get there.For PD, I i usually buy 7-9 cars, depending how I feel. I take 4 of them and set them up in posts. Each car "stands by" in each corner of the map as if theyre doing radar or something. I send the LAPD SUV and keep him parked in front of the police department ..only bringing him out when needed. Other than that I maybe have 3-4 cars patrolling. I double up the Chargers . Every other car only has one guy. Makes it easier for some jobs such as traffic lights and rabies, etc. I used to have all my cars patrol but with the ambulances and such they would all jam up in one spot and follow the same path so I had to put them in posts. That works out better with arsonists, etc. bc theyre's always one guy in the area.I send police cars to every medical and fire call, no matter what the nature but that's just a personal preference. Keeps me busy and looks better It's worked so far, I played last night for over 2 hours at work and didn't fail a mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I have two Police cars on Patrol, one on standby that also patrols, and the SUV at the Station with two LAPD Officers. I have the Diver in the Bat. Chief Vehicle along with him, this way the Diver can get to the scene really fast.It was funny though that I had a person pickpocketed at the Hospital, and after I got him the lady was still upset and screaming. It turns out that you can talk to the people at the hospital, and she calmed down after I had the Officer talk to her. She said "What a day!.... Well I better get going..".

Guest dltforce146 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I like to run my City fire side like Philly.In the main station the only thing I change is I send the tower to the sub-station and place the tiller in the main station. Engines are hot keyed as 1 and 3. The tiller is 2In the sub-station the engine is keyed as 4 and the tower (which is parked in the back parkinglot) is keyed as 5I add a medic to the ambulance in the sub-station.hot key 6 is reserved for the LASD van. This is kept at the police station and is sent around to pick the prisoners to be taken back to the station.I stage 5 or six police cars around the city and have one sergant suv patrol around. At the station I keep two unmakerd cars with 2 swat officers each.For EMS I have the EMS captain patroling the city.For any local box like a car fire, brush fire, trash ect I send the closest engine. For a house fire I send the closest 1 and 1. A building gets 2 and 1. If the fire requires the additional ladder to make it 2 and 2, I send the BC, the EMS captian and, if the units are available, an ALS ambulance. If the third emgine is called in then I will usually place an engine and ladder cover in the main station. It doesn't take alot of trucks to run a big fire. Its all about placement.

randomperson139 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Select the unit after you have called it onto the map. There are 6 number keys on the bar at the bottom of the screen and a square button next to them. Select the unit,press the square button and then press the number.
