Release Date: TBD
Head Developer: Tyler Krichbaum
Summary:
Culter County is a large county in Oregon, USA. It's fire department, Culter County Fire Protection District, is an all hazard department, and each station has a diverse and unique first in area. This modification focuses on the Community of Lota Valley. Lota Valley is the home to Culter County Fire Protection District stations 133 and 137 which house a battalion chief, a fire investigator, two fire engines, a hybrid rescue fire engine, a ladder truck, a water tender, and an incident support unit. Lota Valley also is the home to South County Ambulance Service station 41 which houses two ambulances, and a fast response vehicle. Lota Valley is protected by the Culter County Sheriff's Department as well as various surrounding agencies.
Culter County's coverage of Lota Valley used to be a single station with one fire engine and one ambulance, but many changes came when Culter County took all fire department provided ambulances out of service and replaced then with multiple private ambulance companies. More changes came when the call load for Lota Valley increased. An additional station was built and the ambulance at the original station was replaced with a brand new dual purpose vehicle. "Squad 137" as it is referred to, is a mix of a heavy rescue unit and a fire engine, combining the most aspect of both. It can pump water and respond to all of the emergencies that a normal fire engine can, but it can also respond to and assist with rescue incidents such as vehicle extrication or over the side rescues. As for the new station that was built, Station No. 133, it is a 4 bay station housing Battalion 13, Engine 133, Truck 133, and Water Tender 133. Although not all of the rigs for station 133 are brand new or top of the line, they will help cover the new and higher call load that Lota Valley produces.
