Hi,
I'm a EMT from germany and I am very interested in the daily work of the FDNY, especially the EMS part. So to be able to relive the work of the hundreds of men and woman in the ambulances, I tried to reproduce the FDNY*EMS in a german online game. This game, www.lstsim.de (LstSim is a acronym for "Leitstellen Simulator", which could be translated as "dispatch simulator"). In this game you are able to dispatch Ambulances to various emergencies and play the role of the call-taker and dispatcher all in one. The creator(s) of this game made only up to 10 different german dispatch centers, which you can select on the main site. But they gave everybody the opportunity to create own dispatch centers, so I started to recreate the FDNY*EMS. I gathered the needed information from a Unit Location Chart out of July 2011.
If anybody wants to play this game in the FDNY*EMS version, you have to follow http://lstsim.de/leitstellen/7095 , type your name at "Spielername", choose a time and start. But be warned, the whole game is german, including calls and feedback from the units. I only had the option to change the alarm announcement. You only play Ambulances, ALS Units are declared as an "NAW", BLS Units as an "RTW". To receive first responding (FR) treatment you are able to send EMS Conditions, EMS Battalions, EMS Divisions and a few other cars from the EMS headquarters. You can call the FDNY fire part to get Engines, Ladders, Rescues and Squads as CFR, too. Hopefully I did not make too many faults in creating this.
Back to the main problem, the database this modifiction bases on is from Summer 2011, instead of a few changes I made after reading (mainly in this forum) some articles, for example of installing the spare conditions >60. The latest news I heard are about opening EMS station 13 in Washington Hills, but I wasn't not able to figure out which ambulance tours are relocated and if some are disbanded ore even new organized. Also I think there could be more movement in the ambulance tours, especially the hospital based as i could figure out. Additional I never get enough information about the volunteer units like Bed-Stuy and Chevra Hatzolah, just to mention two in example.
In conclusion, my request to you is to help me gather some more or new information about the EMS Ambulance Tours in New York City. Isn't there an updated Unit Location Chart or another source to update this modification?
Thank you for all eventually answers, if helpful or not.
Greetings from germany!
