I always wondered why anyone never thought of a Heavy ambulance Like this one.

Well I believe that there not thought of cause there not use by LAFD.

I don't think they use the larger ambulances based on the heavier duty trucks in LA, but it is possible they do, I am not entirely sure though.... You see a great deal of the larger International and Freightliner Ambulances on the East coast quite commonly today.

I live in Georgia, the East Coast has mostly ford, chevy, and international. In Cherokee County where I'm at we use, mostly internationals like the picture but we have some fords.

That would be great to see the stryker Power-Pro TL and and international bus eventually.

[Ami89E1234]

round here its mainly International and Freightliner. basically only private contractors like Abbott and Gateway Ambulance use Fords.

[Paramedic_Engine_2]

Same for us only two of our ambulances are fords. They have not got replaced yet. By the private co.'s, like Rural Metro, Central, and Metro Atlanta use fords, and some chevys.

Hey Antonio, You in Sacramento? I was a firefighter in Benicia. You been there? Now in Delaware.

yes i live in sacramento and no i havent' been to.... Benicia you say?

[FortErieFireEli]

Yeah. Down near Hamburg NY, there's a volly company, Lake Shore. They have one of those huge ambulances... The horn is, no lie, a train horn. You can hear the thing well over a mile away. It's crazy.


Also, Rural Metro tends to use Fords across the board... Just now are they starting to get Chevys. We have a few new (omg!) Chevy vans in Buffalo.. They run great, but you have almost no room at all. The front is cramped, and the patient area is cramped.

:O New? Are you sure? jks

[FortErieFireEli]

lol Yeah, they're actually new. We've had them a few months. Stupid, if you ask me. Their problem was, they didn't have parts for all of our Ford ambulances, so they were cannibalizing our severely busted ones and putting those parts into the better ones. Because they didn't want to actually spend money on parts.

So instead, they'll spend MORE money buying brand NEW ambulances... of a completely different make and model. So now, not only are they not buying parts to fix the majority of our ambulances, but they need to buy NEW parts for our NEW ambulances. lol

Gotta love the geniousness behind that eh? That's why I no longer say "common sense." It's now "un-common sense."

can somebody please walk me through the installation of the LA MOD

i downloaded the file and its on the modifications on the 911 FR screen but when i click on it my pc freezes so
can someone help please??

how does it freeze? is it only the install box that freezes or is it the entire computer that freezes?

when you click on the logo it should install, there will be no progress bar but just a box which appear to be frozen but be patient and the mod will get installed.

If I understand correclty you launch the game select lamod and then the game freeze? How long are you waiting. It takes a bit to start the game. Also what are your computer specs.

Same thing for loading the mod in the Modifications window.
I wish that people had a little more patience.

The new installer provides an option to install a desktop icon to start game + LA mod at once.
When you click the icon you will get a black screen as long the game is loading the mod. I wonder how many topics will be opened about that.

Indeed, I tried altering the EM4 shortcut to open the LA Mod automatically at game launch and it was quite time consuming as its quicker to launch the game and load the mod manually so i changed it back.

BTW: what vehicle did you base the Tow Truck(not the roll back truck)off of? I looked in the guide and didnt see it, nor do i see it in the LA Mod for EM3 screen shot. Looks kinda like a Ford.

[Newfoundking]

Well that's because it was not in LA mod EM3 and was discontinued in 1.6 or 7 (I think)

[erfd]

Hey, I was wondering if ou could make it possible for a engineer to get in the tow truck. It would be useful for accidents when your units get damaged and some cars get destroyed.

[jab16]
