Learn how to dispatch firefighters, police, or military units in SimCity 2000. Dispatching emergency units is free.
You can dispatch emergency units in SimCity 2000 only when a disaster is actively happening. If no disaster is present, this option will be unavailable.
You have the option to dispatch firefighters, police, or the military. Dispatching the military is only possible if you have a military base in your city. If your city lacks a fire department, a bucket brigade will be deployed instead. Similarly, if there is no police station, the National Guard will respond. If you do not have a military base, you cannot dispatch military units.
The number of police and fire units you can dispatch depends on the quantity of police and fire stations you have built in your city. Military dispatch is always limited to a small, set number. The simulator also imposes an upper limit on the total number of emergency units you can dispatch, preventing you from sending hundreds even if your city is filled with emergency buildings.
- There is no cost associated with dispatching any emergency units.
- Ensure you have the necessary buildings (fire department, police station, military base) to access specific emergency services.
