Infinite Flight’s Emergency Service Organisation
For all Infinite Flight emergencies and needs for in-sim assistance, click here.
Hello and welcome to Infinite Flight’s first emergency service organisation. I, JamesQFA380 was inspired by the devastating Australian bush fires in 2019/2020 as well as the feedback from the IFC wanting to not only support emergency services but also to understand what emergency personnel do and how to prepare themselves for such disasters. As a firefighter with the News South Wales Rural Fire Service (Australia), I decided to seize the opportunity and to do exactly that by creating an organisation focused on virtual emergency response and sharing information about different types of emergencies.
I am overjoyed that IFR is now an officially approved organisation and am excited to share the future of the service with Infinite Flight, the IFC and most importantly you. With new, improved and fascinating features regularly coming to the organisation over the coming weeks and months as well as our upcoming plans, I look forward to seeing you in the skies with me responding to realistic virtual incidences and events!
See you around
