Useless Firemen

[Jayizm]

I call out both fire units and select them to go to my cafeteria where a fire is spreading quickly, The brigade decides to stay in the deliveries room doing nothing while the fire proceeds to burn my entire prison down.... I lock open all doors so they can get to the fire easily and still, they stand there. :( Is there any way i can recover the prison without replacing everything? and is there a way to make the firemen do something?

Are you right-clicking to issue movement orders after selecting the firemen? When you do that, you'll see a little green line pop up that'll show you where the firemen are going and the path they'll take to get there. My firemen work just fine, by the way.

Here to help! Fire brigades (and all other emergency responders) have jail keys, so they can open all doors that are not remote. They can probably open remote doors too, but I'm not 100% sure. Just to be clear, you can either left click+drag to select firefighters or just left click the group GUI to select them. Once selected, right click a location for them to go to. Don't put them INSIDE the fire. They will obey, but they will die and will not move from in the fire themselves. Put them outside the fires and they will extinguish them automatically. It is noted that firefighters will not unload until their trucks reach the deliveries area, so make sure there aren't a surplus of deliveries backed up. There is currently no way to disable fires, however you can disable random events so fires don't happen unprovoked. Ensuring electrical safety and contraband security is a good way to prevent fires. Leaving a power generator in the same room as a water pump (which can burst in a random event) is a bad idea, because the water will cause a generator explosion. Inmates can also arson the prison. It's a good idea to keep high powered electronics away from water. Finally, once fire destroys an object, you must replace it. Just like in real life, fires are very dangerous, and you should prioritize fire safety. If budget allows, install a fire suppression fail-safe with sprinklers. Keep in mind, without power, the water pump station won't work, so neither will the sprinklers.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
