About the Game
POLICE | FIRE | EMS
Either solo, or in up to 10 player online co-op, this immersive sim lets you enrol with the police, fire department or emergency medical services and take on missions unique to each service in an open world. Engage in desperate police car chases, put out lethal fires, and diagnose life-threatening injuries! Each department has its own roster of vehicles and equipment for you to operate while on duty.
Police
Become the police! Usually the first to respond to a criminal incident, the police are equipped with the fastest vehicle and a variety of life-saving equipment. Police roles vary from handing out parking tickets to chasing down dangerous suspects. Playing as police in Flashing Lights, you'll do everything you can to prevent criminal activity and put a stop to any crimes in progress.
Fire
Be the fire department! Battling raging flames and freeing trapped civilians involves some heavy-duty gear including spreaders, a fire hose, a fire extinguisher and a fire truck. But your role in the fire department extends far beyond this, as you work closely with medical services out in the field, swiftly cutting open crashed cars so that medical staff can reach the casualty.
EMS
Be an EMS! As an emergency medical specialist, your job lies in keeping members of the public alive, treating patients’ injuries, diagnosis and more. Lifesaving equipment you’ll utilize includes medical kits, stretchers and ambulances. Help the injured solo, or with friends.
MULTIPLAYER
Team up with fellow players online and divide your team between police, fire and EMS at will. Race around the open world in various vehicles, to where you are needed, working together to help civilians in accidents (fire and EMS) or catch a fleeing criminal (police).OFFICIAL MOD SUPPORT

From police, fire and EMS vehicle liveries inspired by various worldwide emergency services to alternate police, fire and EMS uniforms, seamlessly browse and install mods in-game.Will you play as the police, fire or EMS?
