Map Suggestion Natural spawning fires

[whiskey wednesday]

Suggestion Title: Natural spawning fires
Suggestion Description: Fire should spawn more frequent and bigger like a real forest fire.

Why should this be added?:
- Fire fighters barely have anything to do on duty that is related to fires.
-When there is a fire they are most of the time small and will be put out quickly which makes firefighting a very boring job that has a lot of potential.

What negatives could this have?:
- To much fire spawning and spreading thru the map

What problem would this suggestion solve?: The fires should mostly only spawn when there is a firefighter on duty

Natural fires do spawn when firefighters are in service. Their size depends on how early you catch them, I've had ones that were found before the automatic fire alert came happened, and they were tiny. I've had one that spread all down a cliff and took 2 firefighters down with it. Large fires do happen, just not as often as the smaller fires.

While I don't know for certain, I'd also imagine fires aren't the easiest thing for the server to place, track, synchronise. Not to mention the more fire in one place, the harder the client machine (you) has to work to render it all.

I agree firefighters should have more content and things to do, but sadly I don't think the answer is more fire.

I’ve sat on firefighter for 30-45 minutes before without seeing a single fire. I don’t think the answer is to just boost the rate at which they spawn but I 100% think they either need something else to do (and gain xp while doing) or increase the rate at which they spawn slightly.
