Firestations

[Admiral_69 78]

Maybe you folks could clear something up for me.

Why do firestations have handguns and ammunition in them?

What type of fires would require firefighters to be armed?

Or do you think the distribution of loot is more of a "people made a stand here and lost"?

(E.g. Made a stand in the firestation tower, after strangly removing their combat boots and TTkSO pants)

Thanks!

I tend to think of loot as mostly being what survivors left behind, not what was left before Z-day. Like you said, I imagine soldiers and such rallied at fire houses, and they might have taken off their pants to eat or wash, or have had surplus lying around as supplies. :P

Quite abit of firestations in my country also house police and military.

How about.. "there was not much thought put into loot distribution and fire station seemed like a stratigic place".

[Steak and Potatoes 13480]

Its like the 90's movie Tank Girl where water is scarce and people battle over it on a daily basis.  People figured there was water at the firestations and got into heated firefights over it leaving the fallens weapons behind.......

Which is why every building in the game should have a chance to spawn weapons...just at a lesser %

You won't get any argument from me, I even made a thread about it. :D

Unless it's different overseas, Firefighters generally aren't armed in the USA.

 

It would be more realistic if they had "Police Stations" or "Gun / Sporting Good Stores" or "National Guard Armories" as places to find guns in Cherno, Electro, etc.

 

They also need to put some of those locations in the North and East Coast.  Most of the smaller towns up there have nothing in the way of Police / Fire protection.  Did the whole area just "hope" that a fire truck from Cherno could get up to Novi / Stary in time to put out a fire?  Was the whole top of the map a police free lawless zone?

There is a simple Answer, this is Russia, they use bullets to put out fires. Don't see any fire engines do you..... proved my point.

People who tried to survive zombie apocalypse in its first hours went to firestation there, carrying those guns with them. They died, got eaten by zombies or their body were cleared by army. Some of the guns were left behind in firestation that way.

 

Similar story for guns in school and office building.

The firemen armed themselves as they probably didn't know it only takes 1 hit with a firefighter axe to kill a zed.

You are living proof that common sense is not so common.

[Deathlove 2286]

along with trying to put fires out with gun bullets they also tried putting fires out with explosives to. .........this ended up not so well for the fire fighters in the end.

 

Russian Fire Fighter #1: "HURRY THROW THAT STICK OF DYNAMITE ON THE FIRE!!!"

 

Russian Fire Fighter #2: "But sir wont that just make it worse?!"

 

Russian Fire Fighter #1: "WHO CARES!! IN RUSSIA EVERYTHING WORKS!! NOW DO WHAT I TELL YOU TO DO!!"

 

Russian Fire Fighter #2: "Ok" *Throws dynamite into flames*

 

*MICHAEL BAY EXPLOSIONS!!!!!!!!!*

 

Everyone Screaming in Agony: "FML!!!!!"

Fires can be put out with explosives...

Well, to compare Day Z to real life, even the biggest city in Chernarus, Cherno, is extremely small compared to even a relatively small city where I am from. New Bedford is only the 6th largest city in the State of Massachusetts (with 90,000 people), and it would take about 3 hours to walk the length and breadth of the city. Compared to that, Cherno is very small, minuscule even. There are rural towns in my state that have larger urbanized areas  than Electro.

Plus, it only takes me about an hour/ hour and a half to jog from the south coast of the map to the north border. It would only take a few minutes to drive that distance. Granted, the rural town next to New Bedford, Dartmouth, has about 3-4 different firestations, so I don't understand why there is only 3 or 4 across the entire map.

oh and they were like:

 

"Guys it's fine I've locked the door the zombies will not get inside!"

 

"I'm gonna climd the ladder  to look around"

 

"I'll run up the stairs to check the tower"

 

"There is some guy outside saying he is friendly, let him in!"

Would make more sense to find a rifle there. Most firestations have a rifle or two with a mid-range scope, to shoot gas canisters in case of industrial fires.

I invite you to research your questions about security and infrastructure in countries which were formerly part of the Soviet bloc.

 

I think you'll be very surprised.

[Jack Dant 158]

If you think about it, the loot in firestations fits police stations better (handguns, holsters, handcuffs). Since there are no police stations in Chernarus, except for the new town, we can assume the same building houses both.
