As the name suggests, the update’s centerpiece is a set of natural-disaster scenarios layered on top of the usual house, vehicle, and brush-fire calls.

More than about 22,000 players have already registered interest, which makes it comfortably the biggest draw on the calendar.
Update 1 (recently wrapped)
The studio’s first headline update ran from October 2 through October 9, 2026. It added seven new vehicles and a fresh livery for the ladder engine, along with four new tools for working a scene.
The standout addition was a Chief role: players filling it can spawn directly into active calls, make PA announcements, and assign a deputy. The update also introduced new call types, including a tree blocking a roadway and a fire at a gas station.
