I don't know about where you live but in a lot of small towns in america you will find a station x4 engines x2 tankers x1 rescue x1 ladder x1 rescue boat x1 x1 porta tank i.e.: a 5000 trailer tank used for brush fires where a tanker can't get x2 brush trucks with attachments for porta tank, this is what a fire company has for a county of 20,000 and of 50square miles, with a all very active volunteer dept of 300( all civilians of the county. All rigs are less than 10 years old.

Ohhhh I did not know, obviously hear in the uk its a lot smaller area because it's alot smaller country and I live in the border of two county's, norfolk and suffolk who have two fire stations within 5 miles, the one in suffolk is a small fire station with only one fire engine and the one in norfolk is slightly bigger with 2 fire engines. To find the ladder appliances or water rescue or any special resource you have to go to norwich in norfolk which is an hour away or Ipswich which is an hour away aswell

A question to you guys. How would you like building fires to be?

Original EM4 with visible flames all throughout with heavy smoke and flames appearing later OR
Smoke coming out of every opening of the building, and the flames only appear later.

New download, I fixed small bugs so it's more playable

 

• Light on several vehicles have been added
• Traffic that gets stuck have been fixed 
• Missing wheels are added to the models

I know its not much, but it makes the gameplay a bit better and no "stuck" traffic paths  and the missing lights

 

NOTE: Do not report any bugs about this version, this version is only to fix the main traffic problem

I support your initiative to fix bugs while we work on the patch. I recommend people to here before the patch is released.

Never the less I agree with itchboy, I commend you on charging ahead to fix bugs even though a patch will be out, so thank you!

Note that only the new Montana buildings will have these kinds of fires. The vanilla EM4 buildings won't.

Still fine by me because if I had to guess 85% of all the buildings( which I thank and commend you on) are custom.

Yeah, most are. But I'll try to modify the vanilla buildings if I can. And thank bama for the buildings, not me. He paid for them.

Option 2

 

And in response to the earlier discussion about fire department size: My department covers 100 square miles and about 800 people in a rural setting with one town of 500 in the center of the district where our station is. We have 2 pumpers (one with MVA equipment), 1 tanker and 1 brush. Our nearest ambulances are in the next towns to the north, south, east or west with the closest being about 15 miles to the south. We have our fire department run EMR level medical response in our district.

HOWEVER many other departments have similar situations and use a different combination of units and stations. Fact of the matter is that for the current map I think the unit setup if pretty good, just make use of mutual aid like real rural departments do.
