Alarm and Response Regulations

## Guide

Alarm and Response Regulations - also known as A&RRs, these regulations allow a player to quickly dispatch pre-set appliances to calls within the game - however they need to be created by the player first.

This guide will show you how to create, modify, and delete A&RRs in the game.

## Creating Alarm and Response Regulations

### Assumptions:

* You are working from the web site, not the mobile game app (however both versions have similiar steps)

#### Step 1

* Scroll down to the bottom right corner of the main web page once logged in and open the "Possible Missions" page in a new tab - you will reference this often in this guide

You will then see a page that looks like this:

* The missions highlighted in green are missions that can be generated by your station(s) as you meet the requirements for generation.
	+ Missions in white - For example "Room Fire", won't be generated as you don't meet the requirements (2 fire stations in this case)

* Lets open up "Bulk Trash Fire"

* This page shows in column order:

1. Mission Description, value, and what station can generate the call.
2. What vehicles, and how many vehicles are required, and
3. Any special requirements - like potential prisoners or patients generated by the mission. This mission can expand to become a basement fire, roof fire, or garden shed fire.

#### Step 2

* Go back to the tab containing the main screen and open up the Alarm and Response Regulations Menu from the player tab

* You then are displayed a screen like the photo below

#### Step 3

* Press the green "Create new Alarm and Response Regulation"

#### Step 4

* Start filling out the various tabs -

1. Add in a name for the ARR - "Bulk Trash Fire" will work best2. You can choose a colour for the ARR to be displayed as once created - or just leave it as it is3. You can either leave the column blank to start, but is can be easier to sort missions into columns. There are 6 columns to choose from so lets put it into column 14. A&RRs can be further sorted into Categories - as this is a firefighting mission lets select the "Firefighting" category5. Leave the stations column empty. However if you have created a specific dispatch centre and linked stations to the dispatch centre, then select it instead6. More technical players assign hotkeys to missions so they can more quickly dispatch calls. Leave it blank at this time. The checkbox below it will reset any previous vehicle selections made when you press this A&RR when created, and only select the appliances chosen for this call.7. Finally list the amount of appliances to respond. Referring to the open tab of possible missions, "Bulk Trash Fire" has a requirement for 1 Fire Engine - so put a 1 in the Pumper or Light Tanker category8. Press save when finished

#### Step 6

You can now use steps 1-5 to create A&RRs for further missions that you want

### Advanced Creation Tips

* To preempt mission expansion - for example "Bulk Trash Fire" becomes a "Basement Fire" with different mission vehicle requirements, create A&RRs for the original mission that have the maximum amount of appliances required - for example selecting 3 Pumpers or Light Tankers, 1 Support appliance, and 2 ambulances for the "Bulk Trash Fire" mission. You don't have to have all of the appliances in the early game for missions to be dispatched.

## Editing Alarm and Response Regulations

Lets say that we have extended our original station levels, and have a few more pumpers that we want to dispatch to jobs to clear them more quickly. We can alter our A&RRs to allow us to do this more easily.

### Step 1

* Open the A&RR tab and select the relevant A&RR to be edited (modified)

### Step 2

* The A&RR editing screen opens up - make your relevant changes to the regulation

### Step 3

* In our case we want to change amount of "Pumpers and Light Tankers" from 1 to 3

### Step 4

* Press "SAVE" and the A&RR has been modified to now respond 3 Pumpers or Light Tankers when selected.

## Deleting Alarm and Response Regulations

Lets say that we have now no use for the "Bulk Trash Fire" A&RR any more and want to delete it.

### WARNING

* When an A&RR is deleted, it is permanent until you recreate it again - there is no A&RR Recycle Bin

### Step 1

* Open the A&RR tab and select the relevant A&RR to be deleted

### Step 2

* Press "Delete" - and the A&RR has been successfully deleted
