Is this mod still being worked on?

That’s an interesting bed, first time I’ve seen a game warden truck like that.

FWP don’t handle cows. Domesticated animals (dogs, cows, cats etc) is usually handled by the local PD or sheriff. (Mostly sheriff because most Depts have livestock units). FWP usually handle the wildlife, where I’m at in the gulf coast area of Texas they usually handle alligators and snakes. I assume for Montana it would be bison? As a police officer I have had a few run ins with cows. What we mainly do is get it out of the roadway (we herd it with our Tahoes or we get the rookies out and try to push them) by that time the owner probably noticed there livestock missing and called us. If not we call the sheriff and they have a few F-250s and trailers and take them to a county contacted animal ranch. As for animal carcasses after they take pictures of the animal they send them off to homeless shelters or non-profits that provide food for the poor etc. Thats an interesting bed you put on the F-350 did you see the real life version with that? Hope that helps!

Well here’s and idea, in my career I’ve never heard or seen a Dept requesting mutual-aid for equipment for a car-wreck. Sure I’ve seen we called other units for manpower but we don’t need there equipment. If that makes sense? So like Lima VFD really doesn’t need to be equipped with jaws of life. I think the beaverhead EMS crash truck could be useful in its own way. Having this unit on map gives the mod 2 Ems resources. We talked about early having the FD respond to Ems calls we can forget that, If we add there crash truck on map. because gameplay wise you can transport 1 PT then have the crash truck go to the next call stabilize the pt and have the ambulance come back from the hospital to take the next pt or request an off map ambulance. As for the equipment on the Ems truck that’s up to you, I needed to be refreshed on what you plan to add to the fire Dept on map. I’ve played the Montana mod v2? And idk if you plan to keep the 2x engines, brush truck and command unit. But if 1 FD unit on map has jaws of life and you can call DVFD rescue truck for more major calls like water rescues or if you needed the jump-pad then there is no point the have any rescue equipment for Ems truck besides a medical bag.

Yes, the EMS truck will carry everything on medic (ambulance) plus tools (jaws of life) for an extrication (car wreck), but it will not transport. It’s should be staffed with a 2 rescue medics (medics who has some extricating training) to cut them out of a car. My depts squad 2 as stated above is a great example of it, (because it carries medical equipment and a set of “jaws of life”) Put a box on the back of a pickup (make it level with the cab) then make compartment doors all over it. Look up “Frazer UCV” As for the Lima truck yes it should have a medical bag. (Also if it’s the truck on top of the page I suggest we name it rescue or squad because brush truck implies it’s only for wildland fires) this truck is similar to my depts booster truck, they probably use it for the following (this is what I’ve gathered from the spreadsheet) -car wrecks (carries the “jaws of life” first out to that) -brush fires, due to 4x4 and 300gal tank. -probably first out medical vehicle, if the ambulance is out of district this truck fills in as a first responder vehicle (Stabilizes the patient till ambulance comes) -manpower vehicle, it’s the only 4 seater in there fleet. -(this one more of a real life issue vs mod) idk the rules for Montana but in Texas to drive a engine (26,001 pounds or more gvwr) you need a class B license. Meaning if there no one at the station with that they take this truck to all the Structure fires.

Which Dept mentions it? If its beaverhead EMS, it’s most likely a F-350 or bigger pickup with roll-up drawers or cabinets in the bed of the truck that has rescue equipment. A new example of this my depts new squad 2 look it up on our site http://www.sanleonvfd.net/. If you are referring to Lima Fire Dept, it’s a mini-pumper. So it’s a F-550 (2004) with a rescue body on the back with water and a pump. If you aren’t going to use the Ambulances they have. Then just put a medical bag on this truck and it can dual as a first responder vehicle and rescue truck.

To add on to what Olympus said, I am a volunteer firefighter in a rural Dept as well with roughly 10-15 volunteers with a population of 6-7 thousand. people. Our area shares 1 ALS ambulance with another area. That means there’s 1 ambulance for a population of 20-30 thousand people. Because of that my Dept has created a first responder program (we don’t transport only provide BLS care) We have built a light rescue truck (formerly a SUV) to handle all the medical calls. Besides basic transport calls we will respond with the Ambulance in are area. So that means we show up before the ambulance get there and we do support BLS. If the ambulance is out of the area (closest hospital is 10 miles away). We will handle all the medical incidents in the area, meaning we will mutual- aid the other city (they don’t have a medical program) for medical calls and we wait till either a ambulance from another city comes or ours returns. I don’t know what kind of EMS is planned to be on the map, but if there only is going to be 1 ambulance. I strongly suggest give the VFD a suv or medical truck (they don’t have to transport just like us) but they can help stabilize the PT till a ambulance can get there. My Dept calls are roughly 85% medical, 3% structure, 8% MVAs (wrecks), 5% trash fires/ grass fires/ other. I do love your brush truck, that plus 2 engines maybe a tanker, a squad or resuce truck (F-350, or pickup) and a command unit and that’s basically what half VFDs in Texas have for apparatus.

Population of only 8,000 and 4 stations? They must have a huge budget.

Might I make a suggestion 1 caprice/ 1 CVPI? Also have you considered just making the Tahoe a slicktop marked unit? I know a few small depts around me to save on vehicles when to slicktops because light bars are $$$. Keep up the good work!

As long as roof rails are removed and maybe some steel wheels that truck would look good. For variety I would suggest 1 caprice and 1 lumina

I can't wait to see that Tahoe, sounds good

Looks good, what kind of units would you expect on map?

Personally I think the HEMTT would be a better fit for the mod, It shows that the dept doesn't have a lot of money. Because a conventional tanker can cost anywhere between 100,000-500,000 depending on the specs. Also it would keep the rural like fire dept aspect as well, since this can go way off-road compared to a normal tanker. This plus a few brush trucks and a type 3 wild-land truck would make wildfires easy to contain.

That works I liekd the impalas you had the older halogen lightbars that would look good on the intrepid. Then like a dark blue/black taurus or 4 door grand am would look good.

Fair enough, as for the PD unmarked a late model taurus or a Pontiac
