Fire station wont dispatch trucks. The game spawns fire trucks off map and they drive in on the highway?

Everytime there is a fire, the fire dept from another neasby sity is dispatched from off map. Meanwhile all of my firefighters are sitting around doing nothing?

So apparently you dont even need to buy a fire station because the game just sends you random fire trucks from other off map

I also have experienced this exact same issue. Even when I assign a fire engine to a specific district the game will not dispatch my own units. Definitely a bug, I have seen some chatter about this and a garbage issue. Hopefully these get addressed.

I also noticed this, but at the very least you don't get charged for it lol.

Except you do, by having a pointless service being provided to your people.

I'm not sure yet to be honest. You probably just haven't noticed any fires because fire departments just aren't working. Outside fire services will always spawn now no matter what.

I've noticed this with Ambulances too, but it's not as extreme. You can have ambulances available and say 3 emergencies happen at once... it will spawn 1 ambulance from your hospital and the other 2 spawn from outside ambulance services to respond because I think they "spawn" faster I think. When one spawns from the hospital it takes time for them to leave the parking lot.

I checked no outside service fees and I had a fleet of fire trucks from another city.

You won't have outside service fees. You're paying a pointless "Upkeep" fee by having your own fire department that won't spawn any fire trucks.

Also no ambulance siren but have flashing lights going.

Also noticed firetruck drive into industrial building garage to put out a fire. And on other occasions firetruck puts out fire without firemen getting out of trucks like they do in CS1. A step backwards :(
