one suggestion, is a spot for the coroner to drop off the bodies on map, because I hate getting him on scene, then having him to stay only for a pick-up before leaving again, especially when the emergencies get out of hand, or I go on a shooting spree:P.

Nothing extra fancy, I think just adding the drop off at hospital command to a coroners van would be sufficient. Might take more though, I haven't looked into it yet. The Hospitals usually have a coroner which can do autopsy's at the hospital, so this would be a good addition. Also a spot to park ambulances other than the fire station would be nice. I don't want to sound beggy, and no need for this version, but maybe1.7?

Just a parking lot to put the EMS car, and a couple ambos, right behind the parking lot. Now, if that is too much, Just let me know, I can see what I can do, maybe it'll work for me! Then that cuts off work for Hoppah.

yeah thats a great idea

why don't you just add those commands in the editor

yeah but i dont know how to model a person but i didnt really think of that thanks

Why not? :) I don't use negotiator, anybody who used this person?

well i use him for the barricaded suspect , the riot ,bank robbey , murder it does add more realism and is better then just having regular patrol officers on scene its more realistic

Hey members and Hoppah. I read through as many pages as i could about 10 but with slow internet i couldn't look through all of them(Comcast with powerboost 16mbps coming monday yay!) so im not sure if these were requested. BTW 1.6 is Great hoppah. I was thinking about the USFS in the game, dont get me wrong i like USFS guys but, I think it is more Realistic to have CDf/Cal-Fire. One reason is that USFS mainly has to do with Large National or State forests, while CDF has to do really with brush fires and small forest areas llike on the side of the road that isn't a part of say Los Padres National Forest(Example), although CDF does help out when this occurs. Another reason is that some CDF/Cal-Fire Units are stationed with LAFD, and it would be more realistic to have CDF.

Some trucks like these

A Chief or Captains truck:

Id really like to see a Crew transport also:

And Maybe an added Brush truck for realism?:

maybe instead of an Air Tanker like that A Helicopter: http://www.flickr.com/photos/moosehead/513581971/ . or a small air tanker: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tronz/279499468/

Also an OES truck for feeling like it is a REAL emergency:http://www.flickr.com/photos/26599457@N05/2650506927/

Once again these are only Suggestions. Thanks. PS I love your sirens but maybe for the brush units like a Unitrol Siren? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEw5ETAwv0Q

Hi there, and welcome to the Forums. As a former member of RRU who wore the Khaki and Green as well as the Navy before going over to County, I'd like to address some of the issues you mention.

You say it'd be more realistic, which is defined as: portraying an object like it is in everyday life.

You are correct in stating that the USFS handles all Federal Forest Land, such as the Los Padres, where as the California Dept of Forestry and Fire Protection, a State Agency, handles all State Responsibility Area land which includes a wide mix of timber, forest, brush, mountains, and even cities as a full function Fire and EMS department with many City and County (35!) contracts throughout the State of California.

Another reason is that some CDF/Cal-Fire Units are stationed with LAFD, and it would be more realistic to have CDF.

Here... is where I am a bit confused. Can you tell me what State units are stationed in the Los Angeles area in any way, shape or form? Living in the city of Los Angeles, and working in a Mutual aid zone with County and City, I've never seen a CDF apparatus stationed with the LAFD. The nearest CAL fire units are in Riverside Co, San Diego Co, San Bernardino, or San Luis Obispo to the north. .

Compare that to the Angeles National Forest which shares a common border with Los Angeles City. In the areas of the 210 Corridor up to the 5 freeway and through out the Angeles Crest, USFS firefighters respond direct mutual aid to all Wildland Urban Interface incidents at time of dispatch along with Los Angeles City and County units.

With an USFS response time measured in minutes, and many times having them arrive on scene as quickly as the LAFD and LACoFD units, it doesn't compare to the CDF units which respond to brush fires in the City and County limits in hours after initial time of dispatch.

I believe that an USFS Crew bus may be worked on in the not-so near future to further develop the USFS contingent in the game, especially with so many type I and II crews working in the ANF.

As for the USFS, with 2 Type I engines, and a type 3 already in the game, I'm not sure what having an OES rig would provide except that they look different, especially those weird Westates rigs. LACoFD now has 5 Type III OES Engines modeled after the CDF Model 34/35 configuration. They're currently assigned up north and have been getting pretty rave reviews from the crews on them. That might be one option.

Once again these are only Suggestions. Thanks.

And they're not bad one, but as this is an LA mod, the key has always been to accurately reflect the Los Angeles Area, which unfortunately, unless it is a major fire incident, like the 2003, 2005 and 2007 fires or disaster, like the Northridge Earthquake, Cal Fire does not have a presence in this county. LACoFD is the designated SRA manager for this area which explains why they recieved the Type IIIs and have such a large wildland/forestry program and Camp Crew program.

It actually is used as a backup unit, traffic control unit and for patrol in low-crime areas. I think it would be cool to have in the LA Mod.

You're joking right? Honestly, you've got to be joking....

There are NO Smart Cars in use by the Los Angeles Police Department

There is a car known as a "Smart Car" that is being tested by the LAPD, it's a Crown Vic with special cameras and toys, but it's definitely not that thing you showed.
