Guest Cal-Fire (CHF District) Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 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. 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. 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. MikeHi, sorry for such a long time with no reply. Thank you for correcting me there are none in LA. Sorry about that but i just joined so i couldn't tell you where every CDF station is . I was on a family trip to LA and I saw a Type III Engine for Cal-Fire in front of an LA station cant remember which one sorry. So i figured "Oh a CDF station." Thanks once again for the reply Mike.

anto.fra88 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I have an idea of the next version of the mod, create units of CTU(Counter Terrorist Unit) and the CIA(Central Intelligent Agency). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lord_bonev Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 What about creating a mobile transport toilet for all the officers at the crime scene etc.This is absolutely bullshit. What did you do if you stop spam?My suggestion is for security parking with metal doors, when vehicles out doors automated open/close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mutu Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Can you apply it to firefighters?If Im not wrong, you can do that in the editor. I'll can check it out sometime later maybe.I have an idea of the next version of the mod, create units of CTU(Counter Terrorist Unit) and the CIA(Central Intelligent Agency).I don't see the point in having another two, agency, when you already got the FBI. It would not be any use of it. I think the FBI is more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KingNikan Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Ya i know i already have a topic but i think this would be better. Hwo bout a Prision so all the Suspects will be Transportet to teh Station First then a Prision truck Brings them To Prision would be pretty col you could also add some Functions. Like a real American JailWould also be Nice if you are Able to Enter the Police Building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topfuzz Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Not really lol.then whatwould it be possible to have the officers take the suspects into the police station not just have them walk in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrothijs Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Could you make the crew of the fire engines wear their SCBA gear when you alarm the engine (or maybe two of the four persons) because I thnik it takes to long to put it on when I need to enter a burning builiding. I'm not sure how realistic this is, but here in the Netherlands we normally put our gear on in the the vehicle, since that's not possible in EM4 it might be better to have the fire fighters enter the vehicle with SCBA gear in stead of changing into it at the scene. greetz, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zallomallo Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I think that the USCG should get pistols like in real life. They should also have stabilize. And the boat should be USCG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownVictoriaCop Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 What do they use the pistols for, though? In EM4, the pistols are meant to shoot pepople. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrownVictoriaCop Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 OK guys, you need to stop fighting. I think Hoppah is really pissed because of all the requests that are being thrown at him. He said that the only car that will be added to 1.7 will be the LASD Van. And I think we should wait to request cars until after 1.7s release.Can't we all just get along?

C.F.D Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 [OFF TOPIC text removed]Now back to the topic:Like Crownvictoria Said: Only one vehicle will be added. Hoppah has made alot of vehicles that the LA Public Servants uses. We will not be adding Alien objects ( Apparatus, Equipments, et cetera that are not used in LAPD, LAFD or Any Emergency Departments in City of Los Angeles.) There are nice requests here, but we cannot use them, because they are either an Alien, or Hard-Coded, or Too much Scripting involved, animations, whatnots.Now stop requesting vehicles. He will be adding only one, i repeat..ONE (1).Hoppah is getting very stressed out right now. He has created a very popular mod. Without Mike, who has genius knowledges in California Emergency Field, 1.6 would have not existed. Hoppah is very lucky because he has a great department of scripters, modders, and testers who has a commitment to make his Project Successful and Realistic. People are nagging at him, throwing him requests, people are harassing each other in his FORUM! It is Embarrassing! We are here to have fun, and enjoy the game! It's time that we let Hoppah enjoy his summer. Let him be, let him enjoy his vacation. HOPPAH....STOP YOUR PROJECT. GTFO AND ENJOY YOUR VACATION!

Zallomallo Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hmm maybe more variations of events IN the water. Maybe a guy in a sinking boat that needs rescue with the chopper, or more car crashes that go into the water or such.Fantastical Ideas:1.All roofs can be landed on with SWAT and they can enter the building through pipes on the roof.2.All buildings be enterable and have a ground floor, and a second floor.3.Make a freeplay event where the SAR dog is actually needed.4.Make the gas exploding be contaminated and you need to use the HAZMAT.5.Make a K-9 police unit.6.Make prison cells inside of the police building.7.Make a convict transport that can go to the PD.8.Make SWAT rappel.9.Make a small car that can hold 1, maybe 2 FBI guys.10.Either make a CNT for the Negotiator, or remove him and put in his place: FBI.11.Make an airport where some events happen, and fire planes take off. The LAAP have the special ability to stop all planes so they can go through that area.I know about half of those are impossible, but whatever .
