Suggestion Declined Fire extigushers in Cars

[(RI1) Geordie]

Ive noticed a lot of cars have begun catching fire when flipping i feel like we could benefit from a fire extingusher in boot allowing us to deal with if LFB are unavailable.

Hold up. Has this been since the new FTS script?
If so, fire extinguishers don't work on cars that catch fire from rolling like that. If the fire has been spawned in via smart fire commands then it will work.
However, the fires shouldn't be created if there are no LFB available. Same as a civ wouldn't create a shots fired scene when there is no afo online.

It is yes. Ive seen it 2-3 times today. The fires are happeing mostly with AI.

The problem I can see with giving Police Fire extinguishers in the back of their cars is that they might then think it is acceptable for them to then put out fires that they come across even though they are not properly equipped and trained for it.

Even if you limit it to just RTPC members as they take primary in pursuits there is nothing stopping them from just putting fires out where and when they want

And as Rude has said the extinguishers don't put the fires out on the cars as its part of the vehicle damage script, but the fires should go out after a set time anyway.

They usually go out but it's usually after an explosion haha.

Helloooo

This will be a no. Pretty much covered by the points above. Also have to bear in mind eventually fire cadets will be a thing and therefore will this will take away from what they can get involved in as well as LFB.

IRL yes police cars can carry them but it wouldn't make sense for that to be in place on the server.

Not a problem. Some great points. Thank you for considering.
