Fights fire and arctic flu within its area of influence.
Ranger Station is an Emergency Service building which fights fires and arctic flu in its influence range while also lowering the chances of fires, explosions and arctic flu within a very small area around it. It requires The Passage DLC and Heating, it can be built only in The Arctic.
The arctic flu occurs only in residential areas but fires can affect both the residential and the production areas. Therefore it is important to consider having almost every Arctic building in range of at least one ranger station.
Ranger station has a limited range which is based on the street distance between the affected building and the ranger station, its range is 48 tiles.
After constructing a ranger station it takes exactly one minute to train rangers, only after this time the ranger station will be able to send out units to fight fires or arctic flu. Every time a ranger station is built or relocated, one minute has to pass before the building is operational.
Unlike in case of other emergency services, it is not possible to mobilise any additional units. The only way of increasing the number of units of a ranger station is using the Aspirin Machine item.
Access to heat[]
Ranger station has to be within range of a working Heater to be able to send out units to buildings affected by incidents. However, even without heat the station lowers the chances of incidents in the small radius around it.
Items[]
Some items when equipped in arctic lodges can have an impact on ranger stations.
