    @BioHazard Hi!
  3. Would there be a medical career?

    @Snapy No problem
  4. Would there be a medical career?

    Firemen are EMT's, in a profession, they are one job. Also... EMS/Paramedics doesn't quite make sense, as EMS isn't a role, but a service. EMS=Emergency Medical Service(s) where as EMT/EMT-A/EMT-P stands for Emergency Medical Technician and the A/P stand for Advanced/Paramedic respectively. These 3 EMT levels are under the Emergency Medical Service. I can get more in depth if you want to take a history lesson a few years back when there were more than 3 levels of EMT. The point is, they are the same job. not different like you think. Coming from a Fireman/EMT background is my source, as well as the schooling... Hopefully I have cleared anything up that was confusing or misunderstood, I will check these posts in my free time, also feel free to read my previous post.

    In real life, Firemen are EMT's. They can be EMT/EMT-A/EMT-P A=Advanced and P=Paramedic each level grants you further legal ability to treat various things due to having the appropriate training and paperwork. There is Firefighter/EMT which are professional Firemen, they are REQUIRED to be an EMT just to get the Firefighting job, these are hired by the city which get paid via the government. The EMT's who are NOT firemen are called a private EMS service, these people are ONLY EMT, no firetrucks are part of their organization, these can be Hospital EMT's to just a small group of people with the right credentials and paperwork. This type of EMT can be full time but generally it is off-duty Firemen or retired people. Firemen work 24 hours and have 48 hours off, so in the 48 hours they get to rest/family time/or work for a private service. The private EMS service usually works 12 hour shift not 24, and as I said, it isn't full time "usually" but some people make it full time.

    In my personal opinion EMT/Paramedic and Firefighting should be combined as it is in real life, giving the people playing as this roll to be more active rather than wait for something specific to happen and so it doesn't burn out the role so-to-speak. A fire every 5 minutes can get old, combining EMT/Paramedic and Firefighting will keep it more fresh.
  7. Coming from a real Fire Dept. backround: I am not sure, just guesses/suggestions.. As far as a building fire I am sure an extinguisher (whether ABC or water pack) should be enough to put out the fire, bigger fires I would assume a fire hydrant either outside on a close corner or a quick-access hydrant built within the building. Forest fires... Realistically pending on location you have planes/helicopters dropping a fire-retardant material/controlled burned lines ahead of the fire to have no fuel for the fire to continue/firetrucks.. I assume due to lack of people per server, and for convenience reasons it will be a fire truck? I would assume this fire truck would have unlimited water supply with a realistic 200-250 feet of hose pre-packed on the truck and leave it at that to make it simple. Realistically if using a fire truck you would shuttle water with a portable drop dank of various sizes, due to lack of people I assume this would not be the case. Hopefully I have answered your questions, of course they are merely guesses since I am just using my real knowledge/sake of ease for the Devs. I will watch this as I am generally curious too considering I am a real Firefighter
