What is a word when people bond after a emergency/life changing event?

I am looking for a word for the title of a book, so it can't already be taken

Additionally I hope for it to sound really cool and unique. I was thinking sonder, but that's already taken and I don't want to risk copying. Any other ways to come up with titles are appreciated as well, Thanks!

Yet another highway incident

A Gavril vertex collided with a concrete wall, station 14's engine and extrication unit were first in the quickly followed by PD and additional fire assistance.

The driver was the only person in the car and was transported to belasco general by helicopter (which unfortunately I forgot to get a picture of)

This was also the first scene I've been to where I was the incident commander

Parking garage

I saw this in an parking garage, almost every other spot in the busy garage was full but this was so eerie. This area wasn't closed or anything, people could have used it but chose not to. It was creepily quiet too.

Rainy afternoon at the FedEx distribution center.

This is my first time trying to properly learn detailing. I spent about an hour on this. Any tips for good detailing and any mods from PDX that are worth it?

Welcoming Station 14!!

As incidents requiring emergency response are becoming more and more common, BCFD has been working closely with local officials to open a new station in South Belasco. This new location (Station 14) can reduce response times by over 7 minutes.

​

Station 14 has 5 vehicles, engine 14, Tower 14, extrication 14, medic 17 and command 10.

​

I have been given an amazing opportunity to fast track my career from volunteering part time fire rescue, to being a lieutenant in BCFD at station 14. I plan to maintain a strong partnership with Fog Hill, due to this I am looking for a liaison who has experience in command, communication and wants to help out in their community. I will keep you updated!

Vulkan and Lights /FPS questions

Hi everyone!

I have heard that BeamNG could be switching its main rendering to Vulkan and DX11 may be wrapping up or phased out and I wanted to play around with Vulkan to test it. I run Fire-rescue vehicles/scenes quite a lot, and have lots of trucks loaded at the same time in one map. DX11 has run perfectly stable for me with lights on all of my vehicles.

Anyway, I can run Vulkan smoothly but the second I turn on lights and sirens on only one vehicle, my framerate plummets to 20ish FPS and is super laggy (literally unplayable ;) Is this a known issue or are there any solutions I can try or planned fixes in the future? This issue is with vanilla and modded emergency vehicles.

If Players or even devs can look into this issue or check to see if modded or vanilla cars with emergency lights affect your FPS in Vulkan as well and let me know, that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your help!

specs: Ryzen 7 7700x, 32 ddr5 and AMD 7700xt and beam settings are on normal preset setting

Any answers would be appreciated, thanks again!
