Last weekend I installed the LA Mod as a new challenge after completing all EM4 missions at 100% for the fourth time. I think the LA Mod is just wonderful with all the extra options and so far I managed to get almost every bug mentioned in this topic. With the help of the topic I solved all the issues. However! I managed to get a different bug/problem/issue in the Forest Fire mission.
As stated in the orders for the Forest Fire mission, evacuating the village should be first priority. Contrary to the order, I just start fighting the fire. With 7 engines along the forest part where the fire starts, 1 backup engine near the village and a lot of hard work extinguishing fires and taking down trees; I managed to put all the fires out before any other parts of forest get on fire. Now there are two issues.
1) Traffic gets stuck on the intersection (T-intersection) near the emergency vehicle entry point (near the village). Vehicles are coming from three directions and the cars are more or less blocking each other at the intersection. The traffic jam is blocking incoming emergency vehicles. Actually no emergency vehicles can enter the map (there's also no 'On the scene' sound). Using a few engines with their traffic advisor/arrowsticks helps to clear the traffic jam (which spreads over the map) so that the emergency services can enter the map again.
2) After putting out the fires I concentrate on evacuating the village. When done, the Task Panel shows all three tasks with a green mark. However, there does not appear any end screen showing the score. I am aware of the fact that I did not follow up on the order that evacuation is top priority. This might be the cause of this issue, but also in other missions it is possible to use different strategies to complete the mission. Thing is that an ending screen will show up after completing all tasks; and with Forest Fire it doesn't show.
(Note: I also tried evacuating the village first, but than I lost control of the fires - I know, my bad
- which is the reason to take up a different strategy.)Hopefully Hoppah knows a splendid solution for this.

Last small issue in the VIP Escort mission: after clearing the route of all bad guys, bomb cars and other boobytraps, the convoy sometimes just stops without it being blocked. Sometimes this leads to a message in the top of the screen ('The convoy stops!'), but most of the times nothing happens. A click on the 'Start Convoy' button makes the convoy drive again, though sometimes it stops again after a second. Is this a bug or does that Secret Service guy just need driving lessons?
