Hello, and welcome to the Bone County Fire Department. I am your Chief, Ewan_Raven. With the increased activity in the server the need of highly trained individuals that can provide EMS and Firefighting services has risen. Therefor the creation of the Bone County Fire Department was called for.
The BCoFD utilizes a number of firefighting units to be effective. Here are some of the units that are currently in the BCoFD fleet
Engine Company
The Engine Company is the workhorse of the fire department. When no other units are available this unit should be staffed first. Engine crews should have 2 firefighters on board, they should concentrate on putting out the fires on the ground.
Truck Company
The Ladder Company provides additional manpower. Two firefighters staff the ladder unit, their job is to get onto the roof and put out fires on top of the roof. They need to be able to climb to the top of buildings. It should be the second unit staffed.
Rescue Company
The Rescue Company, which may present itself as a squad or an ambulance, serves its primary function to render medical aid to persons. This unit should be staffed 3rd whenever more than 10 players are on the server or if there is a police operation underway. The rescue unit may not be staffed with criminal organizational members during police operations.
The High Rise Unit
The High Rise unit is a special unit for dealing with hazardous situations on roof tops where the ladder crew cannot reach. They use aircraft to reach tall buildings and extinguish fires as well as conduct water rescues. Their main unit is the Rain Dance. Normal Firefighters may not use this class and an application process as well as a testing process must be completed, when using ground transport the High Rise unit will use either the Barracks, Police Ranger, or Ambulance as transport. They may also have to do 'smoke jumping' by using parachutes to reach fire locations.
