Firefighters on strike?

[NosajDraw]

My Fire Department no longer fights fires.

Why?

I've quit and reloaded, and they used to fight fires... bit no longer!

 

[NosajDraw]

OK so, my ambulances have stopped working too now, although police are still working.

Any mods in use?

 

[NosajDraw]

Yes, one, to disable fog and clouds.

 

[metacritical]

do you have the Natural Disasters DLC? if so did you turn on the use helicopters only city-wide policy?

 

[NosajDraw]

Yes, I have all DLC except the radio stations, and not that I know of, I have abandoned that map and started a new one, I'll see what happens.

I been having this issues myself with Garbage and sometimes Funeral Services. Reloading does the trick.

Is that your only fire station? Chances are that another fire truck from a different station is going to that fire. The AI is kinda messed up, instead of taking the closest station it's random, at least from what I've noticed.

If you build 2 cities (A and B), and only city A has a fire station ready while the fire starts in city B, the fire engine from city A will respond and be the sole responsible vehicle for the fire in city B, even if you build a new fresh fire station 1 meter away from the building on fire one milisecond after the fire started.

The new city B fire station will have the priority in city B only if it was built before the fire started and only if it has any free vehicles available.
Same logic applies for garbage disposal, funeral vehicles, road services and so on.

Yes I did have several Fire Stations, but that was not the issue here, I was getting fires all over the place and no fire station anywhere responded to any of them.

Please try and run the game with the following commands:
--noWorkshop
--disableMods

If you now can play your cities normally again, then you have some old mods blocking for the regular Fire Stations functions and you have to completely remove them from your computer.
If you still can't play your cities normally, then you have to do as described here:

I noticed that normal fire stations don't respond to tree fires. They will happily come and extinguish the fire of the same house 4 times in a row, but will let the tree standing next to it and the road untouched. I find this total reliance on helicopters somewhat annoying when it comes to tree fires, even those between houses.
