true dat :P

btw hoppah at first i didn't like the mod because I wasn't sure of what everything did, but then I played the mission "Police Chase Ends in Tragedy"...AND ITS SOOOO GODLY! It's so realistic because in real life (in my area at least) Rescues are the heavy duty trucks that carry all the extrication gear, and omg...everything is sooo coolio. Thanks for everything.

em4freak
p.s where are the two (or one) "perpetrators" on the mission i stated above?

As others have said Chicago does use Black not yellow. Also "Until December 2006 Chicago firefighters donned the famous three-quarter boots and jacket, instead of the now generally accepted bunker gear worn by many departments, especially those of the suburbs. An example of the boots and jacket can be seen in the photo."

Another cool feature that I love is how the engines and all fire Department vehicles are painted red and black, along with if you notice on the light bars they use Red and White lights but always have a Single Green Light on the starboard side of the truck.

Edit: for all those who are angry that I didn't quote the two sentences from Wiki, they are now quoted, also the pictures are not mine, which I never stated that they were but apparently the post made some angry. my bad everyone!

Zootoo, Did you have to quote the everything he said? I don't think you needed to quote the images...

Anyway, the mod is great Hoppah! I love the new prison van and the new location for events in freeplay. Makes it so much more challenging. And the missions are pretty amazing too. :1046275747_biggthumpup:

I really like the new LA Mod missions... Especially, but where is the gas shut off, didn't spoiler it because that is an objective... I went thru it all and I had all the fires out except that gases blaze, and it cooked one of my FFs and before I got him out of there, he was fried fireman... that was mean to say but he was... I had them all around to get the fire that started again, all 22 of them and one wandered... It was kind of comical, he just stood there cooking as he was putting out other fires... I was mad too because I spent an hour on that

okay, moving on....

Hoppah, I have a question in 1.7 does the SCBA increase protection on everyone that wears it, or is it just like cosmetic

Yes, it offers more protection under certain circumstances to fire than firemen without SCBA gear.
But it never fully protects. :)

Please! Just post it in the general topic about the Los Angeles Mod when you have small questions.

Answer to your questions:
Each firefighter has a 'Deploy wye' command. Click that command and a small red appliance will appear on the position of that firefighter.
You can attach 2 fire hoses to it, exactly the same way like would you do with fire engine's.

i was also wondering why you cannot put 2 wyes on one hose? i mean after you connect a wye to a hose why cant you add another the to extended hose off the wye so you could run 4 firemen off one hose.

Because it's not realistic. The power or strength of water would be divided by 2 each time you deploy a wye.
At the end you would get things like watergun toy does.
It's hard to change the extinguish commands like that and I do not want to make the game even easier than it already is.

Hell everyone!

I've got a question, can one of you explain to me how the "Weapon-arrest" in v1.7 works.
With weapon-arrest i mean, a police officer witch got a gun in his hand and talks to the suspect and than he goes down on his knees.
I only have the fire option when the police officer has a gun in his hand.

Grtz !!!
