Hey everyone so I've been running a new system of allocating Fire and EMS resources recently. The way it works is there is a FF+EMS together in the fire truck, and a medic in the ambulance. This isn't a perfect system however and has some flaws despite its benefits I've seen and medics have commented good on it. But it's been shut down for now.
FF+EMS:
- Automatically assigned: Fire, Shootouts(Medical aid and corpse removal), Vehicle accidents, Water rescues.
- Can be called to: Medical/corpse cleanup for minor incidents as backup if requested, Medical calls if the main medic is busy, Anything the medic needs as backup.
EMS:
- Automatically assigned: Medical, Corpse duty, Vehicle accidents, Water Rescues, Shootouts.
- Can be called to: Fires if mass casualties, anything the FF needs assistance with.
Pro's and Cons:
- Pro's: Uses less vehicles to achieve the same response, Works fantastically with dispatch due to being assigned incidents instead of a rush to get to the same one, Avoids the medics being unavailable to deal with another call, reduces unnecessary units at a scene, gives medics a change of pace and makes fire fighting more than a afk and then come back for 3 minutes then afk and repeat job.
- Cons: Requires good radio communication to know which unit is responding otherwise it's a mess, FF can't do corpse cleanup, The Fire truck is bulky and other units generally do not give it the space needed, requires 2 medics to work and if one medic goes off duty without telling due to arrest or etc then it can cause problems because now theres no ambulance but this might be changeable with protocol.
