Bernie McHoligan Jacknall Personnel File Full name: Bernie McHoligan Jacknall Place of Birth: Big Timber, Montana Current Residence: Palomino Avenue, Vespucci Beach Height: 5'11 Eye color: Green Hair Color: Dark Black Current Rank: Senior Fire Captain, Station Captain for Station three. Divisions: Urban Search and Rescue Command, Training and Recruitment General Background Montana is a land of natural resources, trees, salmon, freshwater, natural beauty, what it doesn't really have, are people. Big Timber is a prime example of 'small' town, barely a thousand or more people, for miles on end. Bernie ended up being born there, on the McHolihan-Jacknall Ranch, he was born into a large prime midwestern family, with three brothers and one sister, he was the runt of the ramble. The youngest of all five. Going into high-school ended being worse for the runt, between getting himself into trouble, antics, and pure ba-fuggery. This ended up tanking his High School career. After an incident involving a log, a cold river, an Alderman's son, and a bear, near ended up with two people going into a hospital, Bernie included. This led to his father giving him a note in his bedroom, not really forcing the issue face-to-face like any good nervous catholic, the note simply read 'Join the Military.' Montana has a long history of sending its sons to the Army, from the days of Abraham Lincoln to the Korean War. So Bernie joined the United States Coast Guard, a service primarily focused on waterborne operations, the biggest body of water in Montana is a lake. The Coast Guard found Bernie his true calling, being helpful. Not in the simple politeness most Midwestern's show, but truly being helpful. Saving lives, jumping into danger, and saving the folk who need saving. Six months into his first year of service, he entered into the Boatswain's mate rate program, becoming one of the many men and women who the Coast Guard deems fit enough to drive small-boats out to emergencies on America's coast. From there, he was assigned to San Fierro Small-Boat Station 17. Only leaving for a short deployment to Maine, and then he was back in San Fierro. The good times didn't last, and Bernie eventually left the service, deciding that two terms of active duty was enough service to be proud of. He reconnected with a friend from Montana in Los Santos, and had to adjust to civilian life from there on out. Two months of trouble led to his hands becoming too idle for his taste, he decided on leaning on what he was good at. He signed up to Volunteer for the Los Santos Fire Department. He's been there ever since. This thread follows his story, good and bad, in the Los Santos Fire Department.

The story of Chloe MacKenzie This thread is dedicated to the life of Chloe MacKenzie and the story she tells throughout her time in San Andreas. Chloe MacKenzie in her Class B Uniform and helmet of the Los Santos Fire Department. ((This is not how the uniform looks in-game, but rather how it would look roleplay wise if we could wear our uniform like real life)) Chloe Jackson MacKenzie, born to parents James and Isabella MacKenzie on the 1st of June 1991 into a mixed-race family as an only child at Schottler Medical Center in Liberty City, the United States of America. Chloe was bought up at 23 Dillon St in the Rotterdam Hill area, now a trendy upscale middle to upper-class neighborhood located in the northern section of the borough of Broker. Rotterdam Hill is one of many Broker neighbourhoods to have undergone intense gentrification since the 1970s, when the area was mostly working and middle class. Due to the gentrification of Rotterdam Hill her family home is now worth several hundred thousand to over a million USD of what it was when her father brought it in 1981, which improved Chloe's wealth dramatically when she sold the home in 2018. From a young child she was inspired by the fire station on her street. The firefighters that worked there were very friendly towards her and her family. They always let her hang out at the fire house, and later with some of her friends after school. When she was older she was even allowed to come on ride alongs and get to see incidents first hand herself, it's from this she learned a lot about the fire department and inspired her to be a Firefighter with the Liberty City Fire Department (FDLC). Dillion St Fire House of the FDLC in Liberty City, the fire house is located across the street from where she lives. When she was old enough at the age of 21 in 2012, she joined the FDLC as a Probationary Firefighter out of Engine Company 23's quarters in Star Junction, Algonquin. During her time at this company she learned and experienced what it meant to be an EMT Firefighter in the busiest fire department area of the United States, dealing with everything from dunk and disorderly patients to high rise structure fires, to terrorist attacks and public events. At the age of 23 in 2014 her parents moved from Liberty City to Pacific Bluffs, San Andreas as part of their retirement; seaking the sun, the coast and the relaxed lifestyle of the pacific coast. As a result they allowed her to buy their house at a heavily discounted price as a way of rewarding her for becoming a responsible adult who has done them proud in life. Unfortunately at the age of 26 in May 2018, her father died while at home in Pacific Bluffs, San Andreas. Because of this her mother, an elderly lady, was on her own. Primarily this, along with the cost of living in Liberty City, she was persuaded to move to San Andreas. Despite loving the FDLC and her family at Engine Co. 23, she had to put her mother first and had to leave the Liberty City Fire Department so she could transfer to the Los Santos Fire Department. Chloe MacKenzie after a run through Vespucci one morning, a part of her daily fitness routine. Today Chloe is a 5ft 10" black female who weighs 170lbs and has a body-mass index (BMI) of 24.3 with a resting pulse rate of approximately 57-62 beats per minute (BPM). She's right handed with deep brown eyes, brown hair and a muscular fire-fit body, with the occasional white patch from her mixed-race inheritance. She has a tattoo on her left arm of a Lion in a fire helmet, on the helmet is written 'Engine 23', a tribute to her old fire company. She also has the Liberty City skyline and the World Trade Centers tattooed on her right arm with the words 'Never Forget' in respect and remembrance to the firefighters, police officers, emergency medical providers and innocent civilians who's lives were lost on 9/11 (and continue to be taken today due to the after effects). Additionally she has a colorful tattoo of the San Fierro, Los Santos and San Andreas landscape tattood on her left collar bone, and a mandala tattooed on her left thigh. She lives in the Vespucci area of Los Santos, a waterfront area of mixed characteristics known for its culture, its attractions and a general vibe of fun open-minded people, which is what attracts her to the area. The area is also known for its LGBT population, of which Chloe considers herself bisexual. And finally she's employed as an Engineer firefighter in the Los Santos Fire Department, a career she takes proudly to heart. As inspired by The life of Ryan Lionheart, check it out here
