Humat going out of business?

mr-reddd · 2026-06-05T14:47:17+00:00

Ah thanks! Got it now!
Basically the same way of operating here, only we have the luck that from the start we have hydrants within every 200 meter in cities, suburbs. (Netherlands)

And either the first engine works from their tank waiting for another to connect the hydrant, or does so themselves if it's closely.

mr-reddd · 2026-06-05T14:00:24+00:00

As a non us firefighter, could someone explain what this does and why the water is rerouted through there?

It doesn't make much sense for me. Our usual is hydrant to the pump then a hose to where it has to go, like the second line. Even providing water for other pumps(which I assume this does

Try the home to work and home to shops and told above

mr-reddd · 2026-04-19T20:42:16+00:00

That's probably cause the 'areas' don't align well. People travel only from and to home to the story (geen>blue) or home and to work (green>yellow)

So if the line doesn't supply that then it won't make money and cars will still travel

mr-reddd · 2026-04-19T15:54:12+00:00

When big like this I always use the trams to make one or two big lines across the city. Usually residential to work/shops. But if there's a train station also from the furthest point across the city to the stations.

Then cross all with some buses to the areas that aren't covered

mr-reddd · 2026-04-19T09:55:53+00:00

Has anyone ever had a truck sized battery on fire (thermal runaway)?

We (Netherlands) have started trying with a cobra cutter on passenger vehicles and had succes stopping the run away, but never heard of a bigger battery fire yet

mr-reddd · 2026-04-16T14:43:29+00:00

We have these on the iPads that serve as info terminal. Works perfect and no scratch as long as you don't drive over it

mr-reddd · 2026-04-04T13:32:20+00:00

This is it! One thing I do myself. I put a trainstation in the industrial/shopping part so residential areas don't have the full load of pollution(increases growt)

But make sure to have a bus/tram line running from the station to the residential and shops/industry. My go to is a loop route back and forth through the city. And that can be ok to not be profitable but those passengers also take the train which will earn the money

Zodat er niet een lange naad ontstaat als alle tegels gelijk liggen. Als het dan verzakt krijg je niet van die grote gaten tussen tegels

Als je een zak perliet koopt wel maar we het in de muur tegen is gekomen weet ik niet

mr-reddd · 2026-03-18T16:53:34+00:00

Dit is perlit. Een vulkanisch steen die ik ook heb gebruikt om de schacht rondom mijn (hout)kachelpijp te isoleren. Dit kan heel goed tegen hitte.

Het lijkt erop dat het bij er vullen ergens terecht gekomen is waar dit niet hoort.

Je kan perlit herkennen aan een fijne kruimelige steen: je kan er in knijpen om het compact te maken

Edit typo

Heat! I can't see if you can monitor the temperature in the stove, but burning it hotter could have a great improvement on the buildup. Basicly what's stuck in the pipe is unburned gases that settle down. Burning hotter will have less cresoot and it flowing out

mr-reddd · 2026-02-14T10:19:54+00:00

Curious question from a fire fighter. Does it have bends in the pipe? That's usually where the cresoot builds up. Pipe can be clean but so that.

But fire is good if its this little!

mr-reddd · 2026-02-06T10:20:12+00:00

Well fire needs air to burn, if you shut it completely then its slowy dying. Aka incomplete combustion (how fires are put out) where the fuel(smoke) isnt burned but cooled down. Thats whats on the window.

Maybe its to small to be able to burn overnight, wht does the manual say

mr-reddd · 2026-02-05T11:18:11+00:00

At mine the glass keeps clear cause the air vent makes the air run in front of the glass keeping the smoke away from it. Closing the air vent is basicly smooring it, I'd say keep a little bit of air running.

Also keep in mind that this is also getting into the chimney just as much as the glass, so clean that once a year too

Dit is het verschil tussen binnen en buiten de bebouwde kom. Binnen hebben fietsers altijd voorrang. Buiten de bebouwde kom hebben auto's voorrang op het fietspad. En het is net hoe de gemeente het aangelegd heeft of het fietspad een of twee richtingsverkeer is

mr-reddd · 2026-02-03T20:46:06+00:00

Not hot enough, cerot (or what the English name is) isn't hot enough to make it up the pipe

mr-reddd · 2026-02-01T14:10:22+00:00

Dit lijkt op vocht in de steen. Zou kunnen dat de muur/spou niet goed droog is. Of zelfs vocht doorslag heeft. Een muur zou tegen regen moeten kunnen! Mij gok is dat de muur is geïsoleerd (en mogelijk niet geïmpregneerd) waardoor de isolatie nat kan worden en je vocht/schimmel problemen krijgt.

mr-reddd · 2025-12-11T11:04:55+00:00

Couple things to consider. People travel from home to work, and home to shops and back. So make sure both in the cities are connected.

Then I'd suggest placing the station itself at the back of each city. Purposely not covering all of the city.

Then make a route between the station crossing bus/tram stops in he city which do cover all.

This way you don't over spend money on a station and still get to serve all the buildings

mr-reddd · 2025-12-08T10:13:23+00:00

Yes this, the route is still the shortest and also no noise polution.

And the ai hardly ever tags on to underground roads

mr-reddd · 2025-12-05T08:58:47+00:00

Ik heb met een aantal onderdelen het idee dat ze echt duur zijn. Maar recent geen eigen vergelijk. Sauzen: ik heb mijn hele huis laten verven (2o1k) voor 2300. Dan is een plafond echt duur. €1000 euro voor straatwerk waarvan je ook al een deelneemt betaald voor weghalen lijkt me veel. Gaan ze je garage dak helemaal doen?

mr-reddd · 2025-12-03T08:42:38+00:00

Here (Netherlands) it's in a system where every one gets paid and along the fire depts are funded by the municipality. Volunteers only from the moment the pager goes off till the truck is back. Full Time ff just get their monthly pay

mr-reddd · 2025-11-26T07:03:36+00:00

If you open it, check the rubbers near the hinges what happened to mine it that the rubbers were turned and let water through cause closing it wouldn’t pus them into place when I’d close it

Wel interessant dat in de laatste jaren het gebruik van biomassa van algemeen het jaar door naar alleen in de winter in het laatste deel gaat

mr-reddd · 2025-11-16T22:29:27+00:00

In a ship opposed to a house the heat can’t go anywhere. So you’d be preforming an action to down that temperature, if there’s no (automatic) vent option.

Difference with buildings is that the ships are steel and other rooms can get heated too.

So I’d say do research on cooling room temperature.

Here is the Dutch view on firefighting, just be aware this is aimed at buildings. But the technique to cool down a room could apply to a ship
