Fire Department deploys ladder trucks, following suicide attempts at Flecca Bank

 

Legion Square was locked down for a second time this week following suicide attempts at the Fleeca Bank, forcing authorities to respond on mass. The exact motives behind the Jumpers is unknown, the attempt on Thursday was a female who will remain anonymous, due to LSNN policies of victims, the second incident was related to a male evading LSPD, and he was able to reach the roof, a unnamed LSPD officer stated.

While the motives and exact reasoning behind the jumps remain unconfirmed. A spokesperson for Fleeca declined to comment. A Fire Department source brought up concerns on bringing the female jumper down on the apparatus instead of using the stairs at the rear of the building. 

 

The Fire Department returned the following comment:

"Upon receiving a dispatch call detailing a suicidal individual on the top of a building at Legion Square on the twenty-third of July, Quint-71 was assigned to the scene. On Quint-71's arrival, firefighters embarked towards the building the suicidal individual was on top of and began deployment of a rescue air cushion which would dampen any jumping attempt made, severely lowering the risk of a fatality. Once the rescue air cushion was successfully deployed, as a further safety precaution; a safety net was also deployed off the fourth floor of the building.

Given time, the negotiators from the Los Santos Police Department assigned to the incident had eventually talked down the suicidal individual and he was brought down to safety via the Quint's aerial ladder, shortly after then being transported to the psychiatric ward at Pillbox Medical center for review.

As of current, why the patient was brought down on Quint-71's aerial ladder is under internal investigation and is not standard operating procedure, an individual at risk of jumping from height would only typically be brought down to safety via the ladders on various members of our fleet if it was determined absolutely necessary, typically in the event of no safer exit being available, like in certain structure fires." Freddy Mellet, Director of Public Relations
