In LA Mod? No. They are simply platforms.

i have a idea, make tankers with water for extre reserve, i think you say bad idea

I think what he's asking for is a vehicle that can have more than four hose connections on it. Unfortunatly the game does not allow a vehicle to have more than four hose connections

Ok I know this suggestion is pretty far out there, but would be cool:

I think it would be awesome if there was a little training facility, like in the Bremmerhaven Mod. It could have one or two training buildings, that can be set on fire on control, and maybe even have the ability to spawn a mock car accident , etc...... I could go on for forever with ideas...... I know it's not an original, but so far not EM4 mods have it, and its a ton of scripting.... still it would be cool and give you something to do between emergencies.

I agree, that would be a cool idea, but I'm sure that takes a huge amount of scripting. If Hoppah wanted to do it though and needed ideas, I would certainly be glad to add in my susgestions to MCERT's.

[Newfoundking]

What you could do, is take the map stuff and scripting from other modders and put it in, and get premission of course!

[firefighter111]

What about having a trailer with hose connections?

that might work but then they would have to be on the map when the game started and you couldn't call more in.

I'm curious what specifically you are asking for since the unmarked car can already park at the police station and carry SWAT officers. My personal preference is to use two of the unmarked cars, 1 with 2 SWAT officers that are my grab team, 1 with a Negotiator and a Scout as my intelligence team, and then follow that up with a van for heavy equipment and more resources if necessary.

thing was that i noticed that some swat cars were diff. color.. and were also unmarked suvs
btw what happened with hoppahs idea with the new light bar?

If your talking about adding the arjent lightbar to the game, it'll be on the LAPD crown vic. for v1.6

all the ladders are quints in the game, mod or not. normal ladders wouldnt have a pump or water supply. theyd have to e hooked up to a hyfranyt or pumper.

That's not necessarily true. some tower ladders have a pump built into to them and others do not. the reason units don't have to be hooked up to a pumper is that's the way the game works. Also a quint is a specific type of unit. Here isthe definition of the name quint "The name quint is derived from the Latin prefix quinque-, meaning five, and refers to the five functions that a quint provides: pump, water tank, fire hose, aerial device, and ground ladders."(from wikipedia).usually quints are rear mount straight sticks and are around 75' and they have a tank,which most ladders don't have.
Here are examples of a tower ladder with a pump, without a pump, and a quint.
Warwick Truck 633 (tower with a pump)

2000 GPM Pump
Aprox. 500' of 5" supply line*
Aprox. 250' of 1.5" attack line*
*- don't know exact lengths because we only really use them at wetdowns.
FDNY Truck 159 (tower w/o pump)

no pump
no hoses
Vernon Truck 402 (quint)

75' ariel
1500 GPM
400 gallon tank
you'll notice the rear is set up to carry hoses and hard suction, as well as standered truck equipment.

[Ami89E1234]

ok, yer i know quint means 5, but is there like a triplet truck or what?


plus, i would think pumps in a ladder are rare

As most don't know, the full name of a modern engine is a triple combination pumper, which means that it has a pump, hose bed, and and chemical tanks. The first one was delivered to City of Middletown N.Y. as I belive Engine 1. that same company also operated the last Thibault sold in the U.S.

As for the Ladders with pumps are actually very common out side of large cities, where you know you're going to have a fully staffed engine running directly with the truck to the job or being on scene within minutes of the call from a different firehouse. Also, alot of volunteer fire departments do not split into specific types of companies, such as engines, trucks, and rescues. In OCNY, Warwick is only one of four or five departments that have that type of division. Also, in volunteer departments, if a group jumps in the ladder and roars off, there's a good chance they may be the only unit on scene for at least 10-15 mins. If there's no emergency, they may the only unit on the call at all. That's why the volunteers perfer ladders with pumps.

Don't mean to play Moderator here, but

Any ways, changing to this topic, not quints. I'm not sure If I dreamt this because I can't dfind it, but would it be possible to have to SWAT come down from the Heli, just like a engineer>?

Have you seen the changes that v 1.6 is going to have?

I think that it is the same way!

[Tomyboy]

Maybe is this possible, make a differrent heli for the SWAT so they can rappel down.
A second idea is that they rappel down on flat roofs so they can sniper from it

It isn't that easy. Buildings must be changed to 'walkable' objects then.

LAPD doesn't use the A-Star helo for SWAT operations (for the most part.) Instead, their main air unit is a deep blue UH-1H Huey they use for insertion and rappelling.

Oke, thanks, maybe you cvan ad that, and another idea, firefighters can weare EMT uniforms??

[Madman]

and another idea, firefighters can weare EMT uniforms??

Wouldn't they look exactly like EMS units then?

[Tomyboy]

No, It must look like the EMT uniform in EM3
