Thanks

Not when your in house training budget for Onsite officer training is zero. I'm also going to play just for fun. So if I'm paying for it myself I want something I'm going to use. Our city is cash strapped.

But how do we teach our younger guys how to become the old hands and incident commanders without using any and all tools around us. We see fewer and fewer fires every year to get that true hands on training that guys used to get as routine.

Incident command is still Firefighter training.

A 1,000 might buy a cheap coat and pants, if you want boots, gloves, nomex hood and helmet plus coat and pants in quality you will spend 3,000 plus.

Wow, that is a horrible officer safety situation.

What Department are you on the job with currently or most recently? Position held if you want. Just moved from Ohio where I worked a 24/48 no benefits schedule (part time)with the City of Trotwood Fire and Rescue. Currently in South Carolina for wife's new job, I'm going back to college and volunteering with Murrells Inlet Garden City Fire District.

Got dispatched for a fire in a single family home. We were running three man crews at the time, so I'm on nozzle and Lt. is behind me, we go in through wide open front door. Visibility is getting worse by the second, we feel down the hall and finally see the flames, he whole time I keep knocking over glass bottles and feeling squishy "things" beneath my knees. Get knock down and the next two units vent. About this time we realize the hall was full of liquor bottles full of piss and plastic bags full of shit. We were covered in it. Had to be hosed down while on air. Had a lot of great fires my first two years on in Ohio but the last year it really died down.

How would they plan on getting a patient on board when he can't land it?

What do the yellow dots mean? "Ignorant American" here

Ok to buying the actual CD, is there a store where people have found it? The US version that is?

That's where my problem is, I would want to not just use the game for tabletop. I would use it myself to just play, but am a compute illerate. In fact I don't own a laptop, use my ipad for everything. So trying to figure out what would be a good middle ground requirements for a laptop to have to play the game AND the MODS. Seen some people say don't buy from Amazon that there is a problem with the MODS working with that download.

Using more as a command tool than a line firefighter tool. Where to have cops and medics stage, where would you pace what resource on foreground etc. Seems from the videos on YouTube that it could handle that very well.

RIT/FAST teams should be a crew or company( at larger incidents even a full alarm) assigns to do nothing but stand by and prep for a firefighter MAYDAY. The only things a RIT crew should be doing on scene is making sure any MAYDAY situation can be handle faster, placing more ladders ETC.

Why don't buy it from Amazon? What system requirements should I have to actually use the game and MODS without getting too expensive? All I have currently is an IPAD.

I am a firefighter and am interested in the application of this game as a training tool. However I'm A) unsure how or what really to purchase ( see many different games under same name) B) what kind of computer the game and associated MODS need to run on. Only PC or will they run on MAC? Thanks for any help and thanks to everyone doing all these great MODS I've seen on the net.
