This game looks kinda cool. Is it like command and conquer mixed with errm I don't know!
Well it's kind of Command and Conquer meets Fireman Sam!
It's an RTS and can be mission based or 'free form' where you have a city map and pretty much 'keep it safe' via all the emergency services - Fire, Police, Ambulance and Rescue.
Anything from a dustbin fire to a whole street inferno spreading via the garden shrubbery and therefore hard to get hoses to the fire. Each vehicle has certain strengths and weaknesses such as one fire engine carries tools for cutting people out of cars, the other has a built in water tank and seats 6 firemen so you don't have to be near a hidrant (of which there are plenty tbh).
You need firemen with breathing kit to get inside buildings, sometimes with axes to break the doors down. Firemen can lift/rescue people from burning buildings as paramedics will collapse from fumes.
Obviously you call on ambulances where needed, or the medic car.
Aside from fires you have car accidents, people collapsing from heart attacks etc. Sometimes on the street, sometimes in a building and hence you call firebrigade for support to break down the door.
Then there's the policing side from petty theft to full blown riots etc.
It's by no means state of art and the menu's a bit clunky, but you soon get used to it, the graphics are more than passable.
