LFB - London Fire Brigade

I’m aware this has been suggested in the past multiple times, before anyone let’s me know, but I thought I’d give it another shot and request for the ‘London Fire Brigade’ to be added into the game. It would bring a lot of attention and activity to the game, more fun missions, better gameplay etc etc. I made this forum to hear from a dev that it has been denied. I have been told from anyone but a dev that it’s been denied.

I appreciate this may spike lag for some people, however the game needs a little revive at the moment as daily numbers are decreasing over time if i’m not mistaken. I think volute have and are doing a great job, but something new would be pretty cool if they’re up to it ofc.

If it turns out, volute have denied it fully that’s alright!

Have a good day, feel free to reply below and share your thoughts. : )

Whilst i agree, adding a new team would be nice.

We don’t really have the game numbers to support a whole other team ontop of MPS, LAS, RG and Civ. Also, as you mentioned game optimisation is already really low, adding this would make it worse.

It would give some extra duties to HART, but in the long run isnt really worth it

I word Lag 2nd word for Preuit your car get fire then be cuffed? and 3rd Lag 4th more lag and more more more lad my laptop is already not able to handle lag :sob:

People have already suggested this like 100 times now, fire could potentially make the game lagger and I honestly don’t think that this team would be so fun

The devs already said that we won’t be getting a fire brigade team. The only way we would get a “fire brigade” is if they added another division to LAS to respond to fires. However it would most likely make the game more laggy than it already is.

I would like to see this added. It would provide fun gameplay, as you said.

I agree with other comments too. The Brigade would require a new command structure from a pool of a smaller playerbase–although I’m sure there would be plenty of CO’s willing to lead this. Potential lag increases are a valid concern too, but I think these can be mitigated by the whole thing being properly optimized.

As for the comments shutting down the suggestion because “the devs said no” / ”devs already said they won’t add it”, may I point out that the devs, in the past, said that they would NOT add helicopters to the game: and yet, here we are. RG, LAS, and even the Monarch now have helicopters. The same with other things that are now in the game were denied before. So I think we should wait, as the Captain suggested, for Volute to give their OFFICIAL statement on whether the LFB will be added or if they will maintain their position of not adding it.

I definitely agree, however with the lag currently, I don’t think it would be possible. This isn’t me saying that I don’t agree with your suggestion, because 100% I agree with it, I even suggested it about a year ago. But unfortunately, the lag is VERY severe, and adding more and more things to the game won’t solve the lag, it’ll just affect it even more, and affect gameplay, resulting in people not being able, and not wanting to play the game.

If it was to get added, there should be scenarios where cars would set on fire if damaged to much, or molotov’s could be accessed by the vendor, where you would throw it and would create massive flames.

Where did they deny this?

I appreciate that, it’s quite a big factor holding us back.

It’s cool suggestion I want to see this in game but Devs already said London Fire Brigade will not be added
