Los Santos Fire & Medical Department
Training & Recruitment
Introduction:
This is the Official Handbook used by the Los Santos Fire and Medical Department. It contains information that is aimed towards our staff as a guide for common practice and code of conduct, but also as a reference for applicants and the public who wish to have knowledge about us.
If you are in the need for Emergency Services, you are able to contact both the LSPD and LSFMD by dialling 911 ((/call 911)) and advise the dispatcher where you are and what is happening: a description of the scene so Emergency Services can guide you on how to deal with the situation until Public Service Employees arrive. We will attempt to respond to all 911 calls, however, if for some reason we do not report you may need to call again.

The driver is recommended to assist, but the person treating will have their full attention on the patient while the driver is responsible for transportation of the patient
Trainees A/B ((R0, R1))
A Trainee member is brand new to the LSFMD and is beginning to learn what the LSFMD is really about. They should seek all advice and knowledge from their superiors so they can strive to become the best of the best. They are expected to work in many situations with the superiors, even have many restrictions.
Jr. Fire Fighters/Fire Fighters ((R2, R3))
Jr. Fire Fighters and Fire Fighters will be given some task by the Senior Fire Fighters, and they have no choice but have to complete the task whether they want to or not. Fire Fighters are also there to aid the lower ranks and help them in different situations if need be.
Sr. Fire Fighters ((R4))
The Sr. Fire Fighter’s task is to guide their Junior Fire Fighters, leading in situations when Lieutenant is not on town even train their Junior Fire Fighters when asked too. Sr. Fire Fighters are also there to lead certain Divisions in the FMD, such as the Fire Fighter’s Division and the Paramedics Division.
Lieutenants ((R5))
Lieutenants are there to help do some of the smaller tasks that the Assistant Chief and Chief, are unable to get to. They are there to help critique and approve applications as well as train new members when asked too.

Vehicles
Ambulance:
An ambulance is a vehicle that is used for transportation of sick or injured people to, from or between places of treatment for an illness or injury, and in some instances will also provide out of hospital medical care to the patient. The word is often associated with road going emergency ambulances which form part of the Emergency Medical Services, administering emergency care to those with acute medical problems. The most recent addition to the Ambulance is the Rapid Response Kit, which shall be explained later on in the Handbook.
You may drive as a: Trainee-B ((R0)) with a higher qualified member alongside. Trainee-A ((R1)) with permission from a Higher Rank, ((R2 +)) unless of course there aren’t any in Town.
Fire Engine:
A Fire Engine, or more commonly known as a “Fire Truck,” is the workhorse of the Fire Fighting Division in the LSFMD. LSFMD Fire Engines are equipped with on board Water Reservoirs which are used to put out fires via the usage of pumps which transport the Water into the Fire Hose which in turn shoots the water out in a precise flow so that Fire Fighters can easily aim it at a Fire in order to put it out with ease. Fire Engines are also equipped with Axes that are used to get rid of debris and get inside hard to reach areas/locations in a unstable building.
Fire Engines can only be driven by a Junior Fire Fighter, with permission from a Senior Fire Fighter or above – exception is if it is a Critical Situation and there are no High Ranking Officials “in town” ((Online)).
Medical Chopper/Air Ambulance:
he Air Ambulance or Medical Chopper is a Helicopter used for emergency medical assistance in situations where either a traditional ambulance cannot reach the scene easily or quickly enough, or the patient needs to be transported over a distance or terrain that makes air transportation the most practical transport available. Air Ambulance crews are supplied with equipment that enables them to provide medical treatment to a critically injured or ill patient. Common equipment for air ambulances includes ventilators, medication, an ECG and monitoring unit, CPR equipment, and stretchers. However, take a wise note that these vehicles have not yet being properly equipped with a Rapid Response Kit as the Ambulances have.
This Vehicle may only be used by Jr. Fire Fighters and above and also require permission from the highest ranking Official on duty to be used in any situation. If there is an Extreme situation which requires the Air Ambulance and there is not a High Ranking Official in town ((online)), then you have permission to utilise this vehicle.
SUV Command Vehicle
The advancement of technology and potential for very large-scale incidents has led to many fire departments utilising or increasing their use of mobile command SUVs. A fundamental advantage of such an appliance is to accommodate the many different types of communication equipment needed at major incidents. In addition to the wide range of radio frequencies used, Fire Chiefs often need to communicate via landlines and send and receive information via satellite links and CCTV of the ongoing situation. The command SUV can essentially be used as an on-site conference centre for the Command Personnel, mapping and planning firefighting operations and booking in and directing crews as they arrive.
The SUV is also used in daily training and patrol routine due to its ability on/off road and rescue functions.
*Note:*This Vehicle can only be used by Chiefs and Heads of Divisions. No other Lowering Ranking Official may utilise this vehicle for any reason.
Fire Boat/Coast Guard Boat
Some fire departments that protect a body of water, such as a major city harbor or coastline, may utilise fireboats to combat fires on watercraft and waterfront areas. This would also include the LSFMD. Fireboats like the one shown above, pump water from under them, so they can theoretically provide water indefinitely. In some places, fire boats are not just designed for firefighting, they can also be used to perform rescue missions, and transport divers and other equipment to the scene.

Tutorial:
1. When you receive a call and you report at the
scene, try to get a picture of the scene and look around yourself and see what the damage is to people and the environment. This involves scene
safety, treating immediate life threatening injuries, and making a diagnosis of the
patient. Always be sure to check the patient's blood and heart rate
2. T he Second stage is establishing the patient's history, this includes any medications they take, allergies,
past medical history,
and events leading up to the incident.
Minor injuries can be treated within the ambulance.
Treat the wounds of the patient, this involves stitching minor wounds,
cleaning and disinfecting them. Examples:
Road Rash
This is what happens when you get dragged across the road. Simple to treat, but very painful for the patient.
Steps on what to do:
- Firstly, Control the Bleeding.
- sterilize with Sterile Water
- Apply a topical disinfectant.
- Wrap the wound in gauze.
In this case, the Patient would have to be taken to hospital to have his wounds and injuries treated,
he would kept overnight for observation.
When you’ve stabilized the patient, lift him on a stretcher, strap him
on it and get the patient in the ambulance.
If there are two EMS’s on
the scene, be sure one will monitor the patient while driving to a
hospital. Examples:
The assistant would see the patient for such injuries as:
Broken Bones
-Any type of fracture or crack in a bone.
- bleeding and then control it.
-Elevate.
- Splint/Immobilize.
- Assess for Shock(hypoperfusion).
- Wrap in field dressings for large bones, gauze or small bones.
Lil' Tip:
If the patient has Major injuries, or is in critical condition, he/she has to be taken to hospital immediately
