How to deal with fires on a non populated industrial island?
Hello all.
I have started to set up a non populated island for industry connected to my main island via commuter piers. I got the idea from watching YouTube tutorials, but I have run into a problem with fire stations on this island. My fire stations do not function and seem to require pops to be housed on this island in order to man them.
Is there something I am missing or is this always the case?

Not exactly sure, but you may have to have some pops living there for the Fire Stations to work. But, I have to admit I'm only just starting out on 1800, but have about 2k hours for 2070.

Emergency buildings don't take workforce, if that's the case then one of your mods in the culprit

That being said, incidents cannot occur on islands with 0 population IIRC

That changes though once you acquire the expansionist perk and gain +200 free pops on each of your islands.

If a fire gets out of control, you can drop water packages with your airships over the affected area. That will extinguish fires immediately, no matter how severe. Provided you have the Empire of the Skies DLC of course.
