SimCity 233: Large Fire Station

So, fire stations in SimCity do what they can, but they're basically manned by volunteers who -- let's face it -- aren't at the top of their class. Chances are, if you set the oven to 800-degrees, your house is rubble.

That's where the super-duper large fire station comes in.

Design Considerations

This thing has a lot of garages attached to it -- eight in total. I would highly recommend either plopping this thing at the end of a t-bone intersection and putting the garages across the street or building a road immediately behind the large fire station just for the garages.

Hazardous Material

So, in our modern age, there are chemicals out there that are both toxic and flammable. When those chemicals are being driven around by your uneducated Sims, they have a tendency to tip the trucks and cause massive chemical fires. The only way to prevent widespread damage is to be the proud owner of your very own HAZMAT unit. They're only available with the large fire stations, so getting one is important once your city starts getting highrises and stuff.

Module: Dispatch Tower

This tower radios every fire truck that you have in your city -- not just those that work out of the large firehouse. This provides a massive benefit to your entire fire coverage system.

Module: Fire Truck Garage

The same fire trucks that you get in a regular fire house inside the same garages you get in a regular fire house.

Module: HAZMAT Garage

Special fire trucks with specially trained firefighters that excel at putting out chemical fires.

Module: Fire Marshals

These guys are really cool. They travel around the board and visit random buildings. Whenever they walk into a building, that building becomes immune from fire for a few days.

4 available

Module: Fire Copters

Airborne fire coverage: you can't beat it. They sit on pads on top of the roofs of your modules -- so they don't take up space -- until needed.

Modules: Sign and Flagpole

What is that humungous red building over there? You know, the one that takes up three city blocks and has all the fire trucks parked in front of it? If only there was a sign -- and a flagpole.
