Main Idea
Make a well-organized fire department to be set up in such an ability to perform in a better way, thus also making people want to be active as firefighters or medics as they can get rewarded for doing so, as simple as that.
Full description of the idea
Create a fully organized fire department which in fact includes EMS, that also meaning that if you achieve a whitelisted rank within the fire department you get a similar rank when going on duty as an EMT, just like in many large cities in the United States where EMS and the Fire Department is pretty much linked together.
Each and every rank will receive specific things when going on duty, when it can be a special "Chief of Department" on a special car when going on duty as a firefighter, or when it can be a slight change in payment, and many more similar things.
Each rank will receive a special helmet color identifying his rank as well(What FF use to identify ranks in real life), it can be something like for each rank group(Chiefs of department etc).
The ranks, in my personal thought should be something similar to the following:
There is what I consider an "upper-division" and a "normal division", basically, thats how it goes when it comes to divisions: (Obviously not only those, just throwing out some ideas)
Fire Operations ->
- Fire Operations(Main)
EMS Operations ->
- EMS Operations(Main)
Community ->
- Academy
- Public relations
- Internal Affairs, maybe ;-;
Why should it be added?
Sadly, a lot of people ask why, but all I can do is ask why not? All of it will make roleplaying as a firefighter much more fun and let people want to play as well, or as @Allen Kennedy said:
Originally when @StephenPuffs denied the last one, he stated two key points, that I am covering just now:
[2] The Lieutenant is no longer a thing, and, its not an always thing to have a corporal or higher on duty, and even when there is, he is likely to deal with the officers that are currently dealing with something else, and furthermore, when it comes to raids, the highest ranking police officer is, sadly having an hard time coordinating the police force, so the EMS? he probably doesn't even think of them.
Pros
Makes people want to be firefighters not only when there are fires!
Makes the job easier for police supervisors.
A way more organized fire department.
Makes roleplaying as a firefighter or medic way more fun.
Cons
N/A - I don't see anything bad in adding that.
Other additions
- Possibly special cars for higher ranks?
- Ability for Lieutenant+ to demote firefighters/medics

The ranks, in my personal thought should be something similar to the following:
- Chief of Department - The chief of the fire department is the top leader of the Fire Department within the city of Paralake, he is ultimately responsibly for all of the important decisions taken within the fire department, and has control all over it, and not only over a specific Upper division or division.
- Deputy Chief of Department - The deputy chief of the department is responsible for the department just like the chief of department is, to all of it, but has a focus on a specific upper division, for example Lead of Fire Operations, or Lead of Academy, he will actively attend to meetings with the Chief of Department to discuss the future of the fire department, and any changes that need to be made.
- Assistant Chief of Department - An assistant chief of department is ultimately the first rank in the Upper command of the Fire department, as for so, from this rank and higher on they will receive a White helmet(And maybe a glowing orange light in chat, like police captain just... orange?), they are responsible for a specific division and are appointed by any Deputy Chief of Department, they will also be the second hand of the specific Deputy Chief that is taking lead on them.
- Captain - A fire department captain is at the highest level of lower command, receiving a red helmet to identify his rank, he can be considered an assistant for the assistant chief of department taking lead on him, he can be assigned to any role by the assistant chief, that includes promotions in his specific division.
- Lieutenant - A Lieutenant is a lower ranked commissioned officer within the Fire department, his color of helmet is yellow and he is usually taking lead on specific shifts when on duty, considering no higher ranks are on duty, he has no major role yet within the department, yet holding one of the most stressing roles within the fire department.
- Firefighter Class I / Senior Paramedic - A first class firefighter or a senior paramedic has shown great knowledge and dedication to his role, and as for so has now given the ability to go up and expand to more roles within the fire department, he is allowed to take over on a specific incident considering no higher rank is on scene.
- Firefighter Class II / Paramedic - The first whitelisted rank within the Fire department, he is no longer a probationary and has shown knowledge within his role, yet to be anything important, though.
- Firefighter Class III(Probationary) / EMT - An Firefighter Third Class or an Emergency Technician, are both simply probationary(unwhitelisted), and probably are yet to be capable of holding any role except for the basic firefighting role within the department, they have a black helmet.
There is what I consider an "upper-division" and a "normal division", basically, thats how it goes when it comes to divisions: (Obviously not only those, just throwing out some ideas)

[1] I believe that this is what we are doing right now, telling you the truth, it simply not possible to plan everything in one thread, obviously, but this is what we need for now, I would say, starting the whole Fire Department over would not be a problem if we get the right people to do it.StephenPuffs said:
