You manage an emergency-services operation, choosing a location from real-world map data and building a base to serve it. The available services include police, fire, EMS, and SWAT.
Dispatch vehicles to incidents such as fires, traffic accidents, medical emergencies, and crimes. Responses play out in the 3D world, where you can give crews specific instructions at the scene and coordinate additional units.
Build and arrange facilities, hire and manage staff, and maintain vehicles as your operation grows. Completing incidents provides money for expansion and research, which can unlock vehicles and improve operations; a mission editor lets you create custom scenarios.
Positive reviews often highlight the novelty of responding to calls on familiar real-world maps and enjoy combining emergency dispatch with base building and staff or vehicle management. Some also praise coordinating multiple services, developing their bases, and using vehicle customization or mods. Opinions are mixed: many reviewers find the repeated calls and step-by-step commands at scenes tedious, while others report bugs, vehicle-routing problems, or limited long-term progression.
In Global Rescue, you take command of building and operating your own emergency services base. Coordinate missions, manage personnel and vehicles, customize your base — and take on the thrilling day-to-day operations of various first responder units: fire department, police, EMS, and even SWAT.
Thanks to realistic map data, you can freely choose your location anywhere in the world, from your own hometown to any city around the world!
Make sure your fleet and employees are always ready for action. Upgrade vehicles, train your staff, and expand your base using an extensive research tree.
From extinguishing fires and handling traffic accidents to questioning witnesses, treating medical emergencies, or coordinating high-risk SWAT operations, Global Rescue offers a wide range of authentic emergency scenarios. With the integrated mission editor, you can also create your own operations to face fresh challenges, all within a vibrant 3D world!
Using accurate Overture Map data, you have the freedom to establish your base anywhere in the world! Paris, Tokyo, Washington, Rio de Janeiro, or right in your hometown. Where will you begin your service?
Every response plays out live, right in front of you. Your vehicles drive to the scene and park there, and your staff step out to visibly carry out their work on your command: they extinguish fires, treat the injured, question witnesses, or arrest suspects. Even traffic reacts to what's happening, backing up in front of blocked-off streets.
Want more control? Step in at any time: decide which vehicle parks where, and send entire crews to specific positions at the scene. You decide how much detail goes into managing each response.
Plan your base layout carefully: ensure enough space for wash bays, parking and everything needed to keep your emergency vehicles ready for deployment. At the same time keep office spaces, break rooms, and sanitation facilities in mind to keep your staff efficient.
Continuously expand and optimize your base to meet the growing demand and daily challenges. A wide variety of objects and furniture gives you the freedom to customize your base just the way you like it.
In Global Rescue, you'll have access to a wide selection of emergency vehicles across police, fire, EMS, and SWAT units. Build your fleet from 27 highly detailed vehicle types, including American, European, and Asian vehicles, either in standard liveries or with custom skins.
Ensure you have enough parking spaces, garages, wash bays, and fuel stations to keep your vehicles ready at all times. Only a well-maintained fleet can handle the challenges ahead!

| AI disclosure | All of our art assets are handmade by our artists. We only use AI for things that would not be technically possible otherwise.We use a text-to-speech solution for the voices because we want to include custom names for vehicles, streets and employees (which can also be changed) in the messages. We also want to support modding missions with voices. None of this is possible with pre-recorded footage. |
