Into the Flames
Development Update [ Tractor Trailer Fires ]
- I will be working on adding miscellaneous calls soon that do not involve FIRE or EMS
Introducing Tractor Trailer / Tanker Trailer / Garbage Truck Emergencies
- Multiple Locations around the map for them to occur
- Completely modular so expect them to show up near some of the factory buildings with spreading from them into the building, and vice versa.
- They randomly generate when spawned, sometimes they can be a garbage truck, fuel tanker, or box trailer
- Can climb into box trailer to extinguish fires
- Can have the new hazmat type spill with them
These will be expanded upon like everything else including some rescue aspects coming to them
Investigations
Introducing the first investigation type of emergency.
- Report of a tractor trailer on fire can be the result of smoking brakes, you will have to investigate tires to see if there is fire or not
New Hazmat type
Spills. These can grow in size, expect a future version of them to have fire hazards associated with them
This brings oil dry, and brooms
Contain spill with leak kit, place oil dry on spill, then clean up with broom
Map
- Lots of optimizations have been done, and will continue.
- Expanded 10 Rusty to include junkyard that can be fully involved
EMS
- Starts development tonight
- No I am still not answering any questions pertaining to it
Other
- I am continuing to bug fix, and optimize the game the best I can. I will be working to add more pullable ceiling in other locations around the map
- Still actively working on UI Bugs

Incident Command System Devblog
Traffic Teaser 1
Coming soon! [Traffic, Custom Skins, Command System + More!!!]
For starters to use it, you will have to assign yourself to a call, and press a new "Establish Command" Button. Only one person can be in charge of a scene at any given time. Only the person who took command can pass command.
On the cad menu now there is a new area that show ALL units in the county, and what they are currently doing. It is broken up into 5 categories. In Quarters, Available, Responding, Staging, On Scene, and Out of Service. Players will be able to go en route to calls they have assigned themselves to in the cad.
Trucks are also broken down into 5 categories. Engine, Rescue, Ladder, Tower, and Tanker. All this info will be available on the cad screen with an up to date view on where the unit is responding to etc
There will be a host option to manually put calls under control, only command has the ability to do so.
Last tidbit I am sharing for now. Command has ability to upgrade box alarms to "Working Fire", all the way up to 5 alarms. This will change the description of emergency on cad to "5th Alarm assignment"
I will share more info soon
I'm working extremely hard to the command system ready for a public build. Lots of stuff coming to the game this, and we are also working on fixing quite a few of the reported bugs.
Coming this month
- Full Traffic System [ Yes they pull over!]
- EMS System
- Command System
- AI assistance on calls
- New Emergency Locations
- Custom Vehicle Skins
