Due to the fluff... well, Ares Fire Watch are described as this super-elite organization that are the SEALS, Delta Force and more all rolled into one, I tend to build them as prime runners, usually superior, with the signature martial arts quality being fairly common, and where present heavilly developed, with all the best goodies Ares can give them that fit concept and type.

Sticking to the fluff, you have examples of firewatch team from almost as good as LS beat cops to what prime runners want to be when they grow up (for example, a mage with 8 levels of initiation - rocks fall you all die). I'd go with better to a lot better then your standard SWAT team, plus various spirits with magical guard and such covering them, but with heavy support from hackers, mages lending spirts, drones, etc. But there isn't any good example that I know of in SR4 stuff.

Only seen the SR4 fluff, but based on their description (Only Ares guns like Alpha or Predators, Firefight, gun fu style), I'd expect a few to have simrigs. This sounds like the sort that Ares could make a lot of money selling sims of their ops. Buy Ares guns, use Ares martial art, be like Firewatch!
