Hannover Fire Station

Hannover Fire Station MLO - Massive German Feuerwehrwache for FiveM

Experience the ultimate in fire department facilities with this massive recreation of the Feuerwehrwache Hannover - one of the most comprehensive fire station MLOs available for FiveM. This isn't just a building with a few apparatus bays; this is a complete emergency services complex with 22 vehicle bays, 22 dedicated offices, 47 restrooms, full commercial kitchen, gymnasium, and extensive parking facilities. Designed for large-scale emergency services roleplay, this MLO supports entire fire departments with multiple shifts, specialized units, administrative staff, and realistic 24-hour operations that rival what you'd find on major roleplay servers.

What's Included

You're getting a true emergency services campus with facilities to support dozens of simultaneous players in various roles. The 22 apparatus bays can house everything from pumper trucks and ladder companies to rescue squads, hazmat units, ambulances, command vehicles, and specialized equipment. Twenty-two individual offices provide private workspaces for battalion chiefs, station captains, training officers, logistics coordinators, EMS supervisors, fire inspectors, and administrative personnel. The staggering 47 restrooms ensure facilities are available throughout the massive complex without players constantly searching for bathrooms. Full kitchen facilities support crew meal preparation for large shifts, the gymnasium allows physical fitness maintenance, and ample parking accommodates both emergency apparatus and personal vehicles.

Facility Scale & Layout

This is a large-scale facility designed for serious emergency services communities. The apparatus floor alone is massive, with 22 individual bays arranged for efficient response deployment. Each bay provides proper overhead door access, apparatus parking markers, and adjacent equipment staging areas. The office complex features 22 separate office spaces - some sized for individual use (company officers, specialists), others configured as shared spaces (administrative pools, dispatch centers). Editable name signs on office doors (via .ytd texture files) allow customization for different ranks, units, or departments.

The 47 restrooms are strategically distributed throughout the complex - near apparatus bays for quick access during responses, adjacent to office areas for administrative staff, and integrated into living/training areas for shift personnel. The commercial kitchen rivals what you'd find in a small restaurant, with multiple cooking stations, prep areas, industrial appliances, and dining space for feeding entire shifts. The gymnasium provides comprehensive fitness equipment for maintaining the physical standards required of firefighters and EMS personnel.

Organizational Structure Support

The 22 offices enable realistic department hierarchy and specialization. Assign offices to battalion chiefs overseeing operations, station captains managing individual companies, training officers coordinating certifications, logistics officers handling equipment and supplies, fire inspectors conducting code enforcement, EMS supervisors managing medical operations, maintenance supervisors overseeing apparatus fleet, and administrative staff handling records and planning. With editable name signs, you can customize each office door to reflect the occupant's rank, unit, or function - creating visual organization that helps players navigate the complex and understand department structure.

Multi-Unit Operations

With 22 apparatus bays, this station supports multiple simultaneous units with different specializations. Station Engine 1 in Bay 1, Ladder 1 in Bay 2, Rescue 1 in Bay 3, Hazmat 1 in Bay 4, Ambulance 1-4 in Bays 5-8, Battalion Chief in Bay 9 - the capacity allows realistic unit deployment where multiple companies respond together to major incidents. Specialized units can maintain dedicated bays with specific equipment configurations. Support vehicles, reserve apparatus, and training vehicles have proper storage rather than being scattered around the map.

Administrative & Support Functions

Beyond frontline response, the office wing supports all the administrative functions of a professional fire department. Records management, personnel files, budget planning, procurement, scheduling, training coordination, code enforcement, fire prevention education, community outreach, maintenance tracking - all the behind-the-scenes work that keeps a department functioning. This creates roleplay opportunities for players who want to participate in emergency services without being on-shift firefighters or paramedics. Civilian administrative staff, mechanics, logistics personnel, and training instructors all have proper workspaces.

This personalization transforms generic offices into Battalion Chief's Office, Training Division, EMS Supervisor, Fire Inspector, Logistics Coordinator, or whatever structure your department uses. The customization creates visual organization and helps players navigate the large facility by identifying different functional areas.

Shift-Based Operations

The commercial kitchen and dining areas support realistic shift meal traditions. Crews can cook together during downtime, building camaraderie and creating natural social roleplay. The gymnasium allows on-duty personnel to maintain fitness standards between calls. Living quarters provide rest areas during 24-hour shifts. The 47 distributed restrooms ensure bathroom access is never an issue even with dozens of players in the facility. These amenities transform the station from just apparatus storage into a workplace where characters actually live significant portions of their lives.

What Makes It Stand Out

The sheer scale sets this apart from standard fire station MLOs. Most provide 3-6 apparatus bays and basic facilities. This delivers 22 bays, 22 offices, 47 restrooms, and comprehensive support facilities - infrastructure for a genuine department headquarters rather than just a single station house. The customizable office name signs add a level of personalization rarely seen in MLOs. The authentic German architecture creates unique visual identity for European servers. The balance between massive scale and performance optimization is impressive - this could have been a slideshow, but careful optimization keeps it playable even with its extensive detail.

Large-Scale Event Support

The facility excels at hosting department-wide activities. Use the gymnasium for fitness competitions or training events. The commercial kitchen supports department barbecues or award banquets. Briefing rooms accommodate all-hands meetings or major incident debriefs. The apparatus floor can host apparatus showcases or open house events. Administrative offices provide space for promotion boards or disciplinary hearings. The scale enables activities that bring together large portions of your server's emergency services community.

Integration Considerations

Given the facility's size, script integration requires planning. Decide which bays house which units and configure spawn points accordingly. Assign offices to specific roles and set up access controls if using door lock systems. Configure separate duty clock-in points for different shifts or units. The large parking areas can support both emergency apparatus spawns and personal vehicle parking. Equipment shops and storage systems can be distributed across multiple rooms rather than concentrated in one location. The complexity allows sophisticated department structure but requires more initial configuration than simpler stations.

Performance Considerations

This is a large, detailed facility. While optimized with LOD and efficient prop placement, the sheer quantity of objects required for 22 bays, 22 offices, 47 restrooms, and all supporting spaces means performance impact is higher than simple buildings. Servers should have adequate resources, and clients with lower-end hardware may experience FPS reduction when multiple players occupy the facility simultaneously. The impressive scale and detail justify the resource cost for servers seriously committed to emergency services roleplay.

Requirements

• FiveM server with map loading capability
• Adequate server memory for large map object
• No framework dependency
• No additional resources required
• Texture editing software (optional, for customizing office signs)
• Compatible with all fire/EMS job scripts
• Works with any game build

Performance Impact: Moderate to High. Large facility with extensive interiors requires significant resources. Optimized LOD and prop placement keep it playable, but servers should have adequate memory and clients with lower-end hardware may experience FPS reduction in immediate area. Recommended for servers with dedicated emergency services communities that will actively use the full facility. Tested on servers with 50+ concurrent players; performance acceptable on mid-range to high-end client systems.
