In Rescue HQ, you’ll focus on 3 main service aspects: firefighters, police and medical response teams and other emergency services. Make use of more than 20 vehicles; Equip and send your crew in vehicles to locations with critical accidents or disasters and support your city with helicopters, ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, and more vehicles.
Design your perfect HQ as a rescue hotspot, while organizing and managing all the various aspects of community service to keep your city and citizens safe! Then you’ll need to make constant expansions and adding more rooms while planning and setting interactive elements and operations like garages, prisons, kitchens, offices, bedrooms, bathrooms, workshops, breakrooms, gyms so they have the proper working places and conditions. You’ll also want to train your departments very carefully, and keep them well fed, cleaned, and rested, as well as taken care of properly, so your team can be expertly ready when tragedy hits. Finally, you’ll need to manage your resources and finances skillfully to balance revenue and expenses, while often making tough decisions to properly expand and grow your community support for the city.
