Slip into the shoes of a 911 dispatcher and save your cities population by sending out the relevant emergency vehicles for the mission you receive. Your first stations will come with staffing and one (1) unit. If you improve your building, you can buy more vehicles and recruit more staff. Having more vehicles will advance your missions to bigger and better ones. Having more buildings will give you more possible missions to receive. Successful missions earn you money and experience points. This allows you to invest in new equipment (buildings, cars, trucks, etc …) and grow your player level. Good luck!!!
