I think I want to try that Lightning Strike-modification too, it sounds really... interesting. ^^
On a sidenote, I usually hate dealing with forest fires. They spread out of hand too quickly, but, maybe I´m just not using enough engines!

The "'trick" if there is one is to employ the real life tactic of Strike Teams. A Strike Team is a group of 5 like resources and 1 Command Officer. For example, a Charlie or Type III USFS strike team would be 5 Type III brush engines and 1 Chief officer. An Alpha or Type I LAFD strike team would be 5 Type I engines and 1 chief. In the game the chief isnt really needed, but by responding groups of 5 to stage at the fire, and ahead of the fire, you can then surround and drown with enough resources. Remember, you always want to stop the forward progress of the fire and make a stand that says the fire isn't going to get past this point. Concentrate most of your resources at containing the fire, not attacking what is already burning.

If PD incidents are more of your cup of tea, think of it like the pickpocket suspect on the run. You dont want to respond your PD units to where the criminal was and then have to run after him on foot, but instead you respond your units where he is running to, get out and grab him! You want to cut him off and stop him or you'll always just be 1 step behind the whole time and its the same with the fire. Don't chase the tail, hit the head!

Also use the brush Patrols (type IV/VI for those who are curious) for quick hits and to structure protection. A single strike team of them can be broken up and used for quick mop up and attacks of spot fires that might take off.

Hey Mike.

Thanks for all your good info.

Seems as you think before you type, and thanks for the good advises

[rihis]

First select a person or vehicle,person used in this screenshot
then second panel from right,you can see a box with 3 people in it,and then next to that numbers 1 to 6
hit the box with 3 pp in,then select one of the numbers,and that will assign that person to that number hotkey(Make sure you have a person of vehicle sellected first)

to reselect the person use the number keys on yr keyboard,do this for upto 6 people or vehicles,it best to mix and match your style of play okies

Thank You!!!

I've disabled PD missions, so I only have to deal with Fire/EMS calls. I also use the new map submod.

Unit | Hotkey | Location
Engine 1 | 1 | Fire Station One
Engine 3 | 3 | Fire Station One
Engine 2 | 2 | Fire Station Two
Ladder 5 | 5 | Fire Station One
Rescue 6 | 6 | Fire Station One
RA1 | | Fire Station One
RA11 | | Fire Station One
A2 | | Fire Station Two
Station Control | 4 | Fire Station One and Two

I use the station control hotkey to fill personnel in both stations. I've designated the top and western part of the map as "Box 1", and the city and southern portion of the map as "Box 2". Units are listed in the order in which I dispatch them.

Box Area| Call Type | Units (MA = Mutual Aid)
1 | Unknown Type Fire | E1 or E3, L5 or R6 (depending on what is available)
1 | Reported Building Fire | E1 E3, L5 R6
1 | Confirmed Building Fire | E1 E3 E2 MA-E4, L5 MA-L55 R6, B1, RA1 or RA11
1 | Vehicle Accident | E1 or E3, R6, RA1 or RA11
1 | Car Fire | E1 or E3, R6
1 | ALS Call | A1 or A11, E1 or E3, A2 (if no ambulance available)
1 | BLS Call | RA1 or RA11, A2 (if no ambulance available)
2 | Unknown Type Fire | E2, MA-L55
2 | Reported Building Fire | E2 MA-E4, MA-L55, MA-L66
2 | Confirmed Building Fire | E2 MA-E4 E1 E11, MA-L55 MA-L66 R6, B1, A2 (or MA Ambulance if none available)
2 | Vehicle Accident | E2, R6, A2 RA1 or RA11
2 | Car Fire | E2, MA-L55 or R6
2 | ALS Call | E2, A2
2 | BLS Call | A2

Additional units can be called depending upon situational requirements. Additionally, I play rather oddly as I simulate the use of hydrants, generally staging engines on them. Special service pieces are located on sides A and C initially (if possible), and I usually try to keep each units roles as traditional as possible. Police are used for traffic control when needed.

Hehe, that would essentially sum up the best tactic for the fire incidents, I guess.
Thanks alot!

Great tactic.

[emergency4freak]

Man everyone has such great ideas for playing ingame. I'll let you all know I am stealing some of your tactics :1046276313_Up_to_something:

[Newfoundking]

I can, I am hoping to finish up a script I just got permission to use (thank you Hoppah again! ) and hopefully I will be able to make a fully functioning repair center( automated of course) and even a couple other goodies.. But repair center is my top priority ATM

[ARMYBDYGUARD]

Hello all, I'm getting lots of good ideas. The way I run my city is quite bare compared to the rest of you guys.
I have 4 LAPD cruisers patrolling. Out of the 4, 1 is a slick top which acts as my Sargent.( sorry I like having a boss around lol) another cruiser acts as my traffic unit, so they are in vests and responds to all traffic collisions and vehicle fires. (as well as all other calls) These selected units are "hotkeyed" 3 for the supervisor and 4 for the traffic unit.
I do not use the chief as a dispatcher since technically thats what we are. However my BC is "hotkeyed" 1. I keep the LCFD light rescue at the main stn and hot keyed as 2.
I have the ambulances patrol and the EMS supervisor kept at the large stn. I have a light boat in the water with a diver. ( cause I hate watching the diver take his sweet azz time walking to an entry point. lol)
I have two CHP cruisers at each end of the road along the tracks, and the power plant. I have two LAPP around the port area and the crash tender staged in that area. I have one FBI suv staged by the bank with LAPD swat (2). I have the Ford Explorer with LAPD SWAT (2) staged near the Dealership. I use them for QRF (Quick Reaction Force) and will be on Sean to secure till the rest of the SWAT team arrives. I have one works van (techie) staged at the gas stn, and another one staged near the dealership.
I hoep this explains what I do. I am using the old map for now till I can get the mod map working.

Enjoy

[Paramedic_Engine_2]

On a large structure fire I will:

1. Dispatch
3-4 Engines
2 Truck's (1 working the fire, the other as a FAST truck or RIT (Rapid Intervention Team)
1 USAR
1 ALS Ambulance
EMS supervisor
1 Battalion chief
1-3 PD units for ped. and Car control

When the fire engine arives, I will set him up on the far side of the street from the fire so the first due truck can get easy acess to the fire.

When the battalion chief and the EMS car arrive,I will make a small command.

The next due engine will set up, and cover the exposures.

If you can enter the building, I have the second engine in get packed up and ready. They enter the build with 1 line and man with an axe and a PM fireman.

I know that all of this is mostly unnecessary but it is more realistic. Fires dont only appear on the first floor too. Once the fire has been rolling for a while, It tends to spread towards the top of the building.

Once its under control, I release all units but I keep 1 Engine there, 1 truck, and the BC.

Thats it!

Change the frequency of MVA's from 0.1 to 10 or something similar. The 0.1 is a percentage of sorts that the system uses to determine the next event. The game reads your config file when an event is supposed to occur and uses your values to pick the next one, (or none at all for that matter).

Because you only have one event enabled and its frequency is set so low, the chances of getting another MVA anytime soon is pretty low.
