hi Rik i took a look at the link on the page, oh ideas for new appliances after i finish the districts city & urban.

Sorry James, I had no idea you were a Brit!! It just goes to show you should never assume anything!! Whereabouts are you from? I'm from Sheffield originally, but now in Preston, Lancs; (I had to get a new passport)! I'm thinking about trying this big Merc we've just built, although I need to finish my 1950's Brigade first. In need of more parts though, red & black tiles in particular... http://www.fireflash-delta64.co.uk/plastisol002.html

i would hope you would get back a priority "make pumps 4, persons" at some point to LOL i am based in the UK, i just have an interest in the states. you may find these videos interesting also http://nyc.gov/html/fdny/media/video/fdny-series/index.shtml

In the UK 2 Pumps would be sent to a typical House/Dwelling fire; similar mobilisation, smoke issuing etc. Appliances would book "in attendance," & commence rescue/firefighting operations. The Officer in Charge would then send an "Informative" message; "Dwelling, 5 metres x 10 metres, Fire in first floor bedroom, suspect spread to roof, 1 Hosereel, 1 Jet, 4 BA in use. Once he is sure no more assistance is required, he would send a "Stop" message.

playmobil make US style helmets that are really nice actually, hard to find though. the dispatch would be for crews to respond to the box ?????. might start as a 10-33, odor of smoke, so smoke issuing. they would then ask for a 10-75 possibly, which would be 4 engines, 2 trucks, 2 BCs, and a FAST unit.

Yeah, they're ok. It's a bit of a job to get them into/out of the cabs so I might have to make them bigger! Shame about the turnout gear too; I might have to try to make some American style helmets somehow. Any thought on how this incident might be described in a message beck to dispatch in the US?

i always wondered how well those playmobil figures would fit into those megablocks rigs. nice job.
