Chicago is the 3rd largest city in the United States, and the 57th worldwide. The Chicago Fire Department runs over eight-hundred thousand calls annually, mostly for EMS aid, despite having one of the lowest ambulance to population ratios in the world. The Department employs over forty-five uniformed personnel, and at any given time has nearly three hundred units in service.
It is HIGHLY recomended to turn the call volume to 50% or 75% if you are playing alone or are inexperienced. This dispatch center mimics the actual call volume of the City of Chicago, meaning at 100% call rate, you can expect a challenging but fun experience.
If you like this dispatch center, please leave a review! If you have any questions/suggestions/issues, please consult the forums!
