How to Dispatch a Work Crew in SIM City
The first version of the "SimCity" computer game was released by Maxis in 1989. The game is based on building a realistic simulation of a city, complete with buildings, utilities, taxes, transportation and other services needed to support its inhabitants. Natural disasters such as tornadoes, floods and earthquakes can occur at random times. When a disaster happens in your simulated city, dispatch work crews to protect the citizens and repair any damage.

Select "Dispatch Firefighters" or "Dispatch Police" from the view center to send out the appropriate work crew to the emergency site. You can only dispatch one crew for each police or fire station in your simulated city. If the station is far away from the site, it might take some time for the work crew to arrive.
