Firefighter gear

[riskiestkiller 8]

I read in the dev blog there adding in police, emt, firefighter uniform, and i am not sure if that means they are just putting in station dress uniform or actually putting in bunker gear and helmets .

 

I would love to see Full sets of bunker gear (yellow , black ) added in (i know there are more colors of gear but those are the most popular), I would love to see some nice helmets, i personally don't like the type of helmets used over in Russia , i like the good old American leather helmets, i wear the Cairns: 664 Invader Helmet which is another nice looking helmet, and gives a good amount of protection.

We already have a firefighter axe so that taken care of already but won't it be nice to have a good old Halligan or pike pole, or hydrant wrench etc,  to chase people down, there are alot of fun option that could be added in that you should be able to find in any fire station.

Back to the helmet idea, if they add in firefighter helmet then they should add flash lights that can be attach to the helmets, it would come handy when it turns night.

 

 

Last idea, Not anything that could be added anytime soon but, once they add cars, it would be nice if you could find working firetrucks where you could actually fill up and and use the monitor to spray players ( it would have to be a pumper truck, and you would be out of water in about 20 sec without a water supply) now this is idea is kinda like they have on gta but i would like to see that you wouldn't have unlimited water  and you can't drive around spraying, you have to be out side the truck moving the monitor.

And maybe before u operate the pump on the truck you guy needs to find a book/manual to learn to operate.

 

That monitor would just kinda be a troll gun as it wouldn't kill you it would just knock you on your rear , trust me it not very fun getting hit though haha

 

I know alot of you won't agree on my suggestions, especially the fire truck idea, but it  would be cool to at least get some firefighter gear/tools.

 

Thanks for your time

The water pump should set you at the maximum wetness if you're hit and waterlog all your supplies, making it a useless bandit tool but an effective suppression one. Driver should not be able to operate it.

It should be a 2 man operation to run the monitor, one to operate the pump and one to climb up onto and move the monitor around. but no driving around like in gta haha

So you'd have to have 1 exposed person, who'd be shootable, to aim. Good.

both would be exposed  , not sure how Russian fire trucks are like but the ones i am on here in Canada, you have to be ontop of the truck to move the monitor around and the pump operator is either  along side the truck or in between the cab and the bed of the truck, all depends where the pump controls  are but thats Canadian/American trucks.

 

Not sure about russian trucks

I really don't understand why anyone would be stingy during the apocalypse. It's durable, it's warm, it's fire and bite proof, you're well protected from small stabbing implements (knives) and blunt attacks (hammers, et cetera), and it stays dry no matter how thick the rain. Except during a hot summer, or for someone that needs ultimate mobility, a fireman's jacket (at the least!) is a really great choice. Fireman pants + suspenders and boots means a zombie crawling in high grass you don't see won't rip a massive fucking chunk out of your ankle, saving your life. And finally, if you meet another survivor, you can say "Hey I was a fireman before the Zapocalypse, so I'm a good guy." As soon as they trust you, BAM! Fireaxe to the head. Same thing if dressed as a police officer or (friendly) soldier.

Great post :beans: it would make great protection from knifes and zombie bites, and once they add in cold affecting your character, bunker gear is awesome in the winter until u get wet haha, But after awhile it doesn't matter how new your gear is you will get wet haha, my  gear got soaked at a house fire on Wednesday night but i also was there for almost 7 hours and some one did hit me with a 2 and half haha, my stupid gloves won't dry and its making me mad >:(

I am a volly Firefighter/ medical first responder right now for about a year now, hoping to go to FF school for  6 month pre employment  program in August, trying to work my way up to becoming a professional firefighter :)  :)

I'm trying to go 18 Delta or LPN (I'd rather be a non-combat vet, anyway), and get out as an EMT somewhere near where my mother lives. Conveniently, there's an airforce base pretty nearby I could get stationed at for a while, so I'd literally be like a half-hour from home.

18 delta is combat medic right? i went to college (electrical) with a guy who was a a combat medic for 15 years and loved it, great job to get into with the military except you'll prob see combat as being a medic ,  hope you have a strong stomach, But you'll learn lots and be ideal as emt/paramedic after the military, and lpn is also another great field to get into also.

 

I wouldn't mind military myself but there not really hiring FF here in Canada, i was told i was a ideal for combat engineer and radio operator, i am waiting for a call back from them, not sure if i would accept a job if i was offered or i would wait for FF school in august, to many things to think about.

 

Good luck in your choice and have fun, noting gives you a better feeling then helping out someone in their time in need :)

yeah sure fireman jacket or whatever , but full fireman uniform is what i meant. the military kit seems a bit more useful in my view, im not saying dont add fireman equipment to dayz, im happy if its added, add anything from real world.  just weird to me, if someone dress in the full uniform, whereas i dont think its weird if someone in full military kit. just my view haha

You want to be a 25 Charlie (radio operator)? You might get out of that as a non-combat vet, especially being Canadian.

18 Delta is 100% going to see combat; I'd be a Special Forces Medical Officer. If I was an LPN (Licensed Practices Nurse) in the airforce, I'd be in charge of a nursing staff in a military hospital. Chances of seeing combat are pretty low.
