Rescue HQ presents you with the task of building, organizing and running an emergency services station.

Ensure the safety of the people living in your city. In Rescue HQ you have to build, organize and manage a station with three different emergency departments. The police, fire brigade and EMS departments all need your management expertise in order to run smoothly and keep the city safe.

You are responsible for your employees, their satisfaction and the life of many other characters. Keep an eye on your environment to be always prepared for new emergencies and make sure your station is well-balanced so it can handle all kinds of emergencies.

  • You are the police – Take care of the prisoners, interrogate them, and process all current cases at the desk. You can train specialised units for different missions.
    In addition, you have to prepare your police forces for special events like the visit of a mafia boss.
  • You are the fire brigade – Get ready for the rush of incoming emergencies and make sure your team has enough resources to handle them. Train your firefighters so they can develop unique skills. Assign them to different teams based on their skills and special experiences to be prepared for both a cat sitting on a tree and a major fire.
  • You are the ambulance – Look after your patients in the emergency room of your HQ and expand your station by new technologies. If someone gets injured it is your responsibility to bring him to your HQ and take care of him until he is doing better. In addition, make sure you produce enough medicine to avoid any supply shortages.

As manager of the headquarter it is your job to provide enough personnel and resources at all times so you are able to react to any unforeseen mission in time. At the same time, you have to keep an eye on your finances to make sure you have enough funds to further develop your headquarter – a balancing act that can lead to difficult decisions.

Can you keep cool and stay on top of the situation, despite three departments, numerous missions, and scarce resources demanding your attention? Prove your skills, your city counts on you!
