Burnt dow buildings

[xoligy]

Have no idea what my firemen are upto probably chatting up hot girls they rescue but, do the burnt down places go n their own after a while or do i need to keep bulldozing them?

[Los]

i dont think so i left my game running for a while and came back to a few burnt buildings and in their tooltip it doesnt say they go away unlike abandoned ones so i just delete any crispy buildings

they will go eventually, but it's better to get rid of them asap as they lower the land wealth rating.

Also if engines aren't getting there on time make sure you have good coverage, and that you don't have traffic issues stopping them getting any where

Seems my fierfighters are on strike. Have great coverage but no firefighters. I guess i need some uneducated folk time to demolish some schools lol

great coverage is only part of it, that only shows the range they can reach, but dosen't inlude problems with traffic. So you need to use the traffic tab and check for congestion and make sure you have a good free rolling traffic

I have done Rhenthyl, as i said my firemen seem to have gone on strike 0/7 in use. Same with my garbage men though they are slowly coming back.

Check your access routes, in my recent city i had a simialr issue with my fire and garbage trucks. Turns out i had put the wrong road down for the entry/exit of the district, i had 2 in roads instead of 1 in and 1 out

I think firemen are bugged. I have had buildings burn down right across the street, and right next to the firestation on 2 way roads.

All fixed now though as NMRMidnight says they are dumb firemen. Sorry i got caught up in traffic sorting still not right but better than it was.

There is a great mod on the workshop that automatically bulldozes burnt and abandoned buildings for you.

When you Place down a firestation when the houses/factories start to change color place another one rule of thumb even with traffic issues having a few Extra FD Companies will not hurt you and doesn't hurt your budget unless playing hardmode then need to do alittle extra planning and math.

@Craal - Playing without mods at the moment for the achievements.

@Stalker - I have loads of fire stations lol
