Server Suggestion Investigation tool for FD

[TaliaKuznetsova]

Suggestion Title: Investigation tool for FD
Suggestion Description: Add the ability for higher ranking FD (senior and up or specialist and up?) to investigate near fires for stuff to find the cause of the fire. It would wear off after awhile say 5-10 minutes after ignition?

This isnt advanced and it'd probally have a bar like equipping a weapon,bandaging, etc that says "Investigating" that takes like 30 seconds or so. That way they cant spam it and run and it has to be safe to investigate so criminals can cover it up or etc.

Moltov message might be like: "There are glass fragments on the ground..."
Car bomb/crash: "There are bolts and plastic pieces on the ground..."
Meth: "The ground is burned strangely..."
Random fire: Something random like "Theres a ciggarete on the ground" or "theres remains of a lighter" or etc.

Why should this be added?:
- Investigation to assist pd with fire
- Find cause of fires when nobody saw it

What negatives could this have?:
- Coding
- Moltoving and etc isnt exactly a get out of jail free card now.

Think that would be pretty cool and would make it more interesting to play as a firefighter.

I mean we have cops with dna tool, medics with dna tool, why not fire fighters with a fire investigation tool? We were originally going to get DNA tool in the update but never did. It wouldnt be super op like who threw a moltov or anything, we can just report that one was thrown in the area meaning the cops still have to investigate.

This would require some sort of object remain on the scene of a fire for firemen to find. I’d rather not have his as it’s virtually useless, if someone commits arson, you’d just know it was arson, not who did it.

It’s also useless since typically you can easily and accurately guess the cause of a fire just by looking at it.

No its not an object. Its just an invisible trigger that when you're in left click and it tells you unless the timer expires and its gone. Also its not easy to get the cause of fire ingame as glass particles dont remain there when a moltov is thrown or if someone has low decals they cant tell. Plus sometimes ive had carbombs where the car is gone as it burned when people were away or etc.
