  1. Hey,

     

    I also had a few ideas about the taxi job in the past. I agree with this suggestion, the job really needs a proper revamp. Adding an app similar to the bus app for both drivers and passengers would be awesome.

     

    My additional suggestions:

     

    1) Let's say a passenger requests a ride in the new app. The driver has to send an offer to the passenger first. In this offer, the passenger will be able to see the driver's vehicle, his price (either a fixed price for all city trips for example, or the current fare) and maybe how far away he is, or what district he is in (if it's possible). The passenger can either accept or deny this offer. If he denies it, his request will automatically go to the next driver in the queue unless there is nobody else on taxi duty. If the passenger accepts it, he'll be able to track the driver on a map in the new app (like we can track incoming buses). A proper queue system is needed, I don't want to spam the same command like a maniac anymore.

     

    2) Allow taxi drivers to use a fixed price instead of using the fare if they wish. For example, 250$ for city trips, etc. Also, make sure there is a limit so some people don't ask for 8000$. The fare also needs a limit. Some drivers charge 3$ and others 90$/5 seconds. Add a realistic cap to this, if possible.

     

    3) And finally, make a list of approved 4-door realistic vehicles that will be allowed for this job and in the taxi app. We're currently stuck with the regular taxis. I understand some people might abuse it but it can hopefully be prevented with a script and proper server rules. I just want to use a cool looking hybrid car. Maybe make it a requirement to have the taxi license in your inventory before you use your own personal vehicle in the app, or something like that.

     

    A little idea on how to prevent abuse of normal vehicles: Add a list of approved vehicles for the taxi script. Then, players will be allowed to register their own car as a taxi in the DMV, if it's on said list. Once they do that, they'll be able to use their vehicle for the job. To register it, you'll need a valid driver's license and a taxi license on your person. The script then gives your vehicle a new plate that'll end with T, for example, "ABC123T". So other drivers, players, law enforcement, and everyone else on the server see that this vehicle is a taxi and not just another vehicle.

    PALETO BAY - Firefighters were deployed in a large clean-up operation in cooperation with the State Fire Marshals in Paleto Bay, allowing them to continue with a fire investigation after a structure fire and building collapse.

     

    On Friday, August 5th, 2022, the Los Santos Fire Department helped in a large clean-up operation in Paleto Bay following a building collapse after a structure fire that happened in the evening hours on Monday, August 1st, 2022. A large commercial building collapsed during the original fire, leaving one firefighter injured.

    State Fire Marshals requested help with a clean-up operation so the fire investigation can officially begin. Firefighters from all city and county stations were called in to help, moving on site in the evening hours, beginning a large, hours-lasting operation. State Park Rangers and Sheriff's Department were called in to help with the whole operation, making sure everything goes as planned.

    LSFD deployed several heavy-duty vehicles in cooperation with the Department of Public Works. A command truck (CM2) from headquarters in Rockford Hills was also deployed to further help with planning and on-site communication.

    During the initial operation, one firefighter was non-critically injured and treated by on-site EMS staff. Hazardous materials were removed from the building and State Fire Marshals officially began their investigation. The whole scrapyard remains closed to the public. Paleto Boulevard was partially closed around the scrapyard, detour routes were available.

Special thanks go to Los Santos County Sheriff's Department, especially Paleto Bay station, San Andreas State Park Rangers, and State Fire Marshals. The department thanks you for your help during the whole situation and we were happy to work with you.

    Lance the Pug, rescued by Engineer Brendan Finnemore


    As Firefighters were battling the fire, a sudden and loud explosion ripped through the building and injured a single firefighter, he had sustained minor injuries and is expected to make a recovery. Furthermore, during firefighting efforts, a dog, specifically a Pug, was spotted by Engineer Finnemore and thanks to his quick reactions, the dog was rescued from the scene and was taken away from danger. The pug was given a temporary name of 'Lance' and was taken to Station Four in Sandy Shores, a day later an elderly woman arrived to reclaim her lost four-legged companion.

     

    The Department and the State Fire Marshals will be conducting a clean-up operation on the 5th of August, then the scene can be formally handed to the State Fire Marshals to investigate the cause of the blaze.

    FIRE DEPARTMENT INTRODUCES NEW LIVE INCIDENT TRACKER FOR PRESS AGENCIES
    21st of July, 2022
    LSFD Public Relations Supervisor Jennifer Schneider
    s8sVlZX.png
    The Los Santos Fire Department would like to introduce a new Live Incident Tracker hosted by the Public Relations division. The tracker is a new way for journalists from all agencies to find out about actual and live calls that are happening throughout the city. The tracker will show basic information about the call and the location. Members of licensed press agencies will be contacted in the upcoming days by the Public Relations division in order to set up the system. Members of the company will get a pager, one for each member issued by the LSFD.

     

    Freelance journalists or independent reporters can also sign up and receive a pager. Please contact Public Information Officer Jenkins if you're an independent journalist interested in the system via the email here. A short meeting will follow so the system can be introduced and set up. The meeting will last for about ten minutes. Rules and regulations will be explained to each journalist or reporter in person.

     

    The initial project started about two months ago and was recently approved by Public Relations Director E. Reyna and Assistant Chief C. Stuart. We hope this new system will help press agencies and independent journalists in the city.

     

    For more information, contact the department via the non-emergency number (333) or email Public Information Officer Jenkins here.

  9. Hello, the rental vans appear to be fixed but now the job itself isn't showing any deliveries. A tester told me there are supposed to be at least some NPC deliveries. Thanks for looking into that.

     

    iQiBHvm.png

  10. Hey, don't want to make a new topic but I can confirm the bug with blips. Also, the vehicle rental itself is broken. The timer isn't working and this leads to vans being randomly left at the post office or around the map, admins have to manually despawn them. And even if you'd like to use the van you had an hour before, you can get in and drive it but you can't deliver, it asks you to rent a new one.

    LOS SANTOS FIRE DEPARTMENT HONORS OUR FALLEN HEROES
    17th of June, 2022

    LSFD File Photo - Funeral of Captain Jack Wolfsbane - Dated 2019.
    The Los Santos Fire Department will be lowering its flags to half-mast to commemorate our fallen heroes who have died in the line of duty, the department will observe San Andreas Fire & Medical First Responders Weeks which was passed on the 21st of May, it's set to last for 2 weeks. It was introduced by a friend of the department, formerly Public Relations Supervisor Scarlet Summers, and Senator Adrian Rossi. The Los Santos Fire Department thanks the San Andreas State Senate for passing this bill.

     

    The Los Santos Fire Department responded to 45000 calls last year, averaging 95 calls per day, the Department prides itself on providing outstanding community service work, life-saving treatment, and Fire and Rescue capabilities. Serving the people of Los Santos County is our primary goal and will always be our goal, our Career, Volunteer, and Civilian Staff work around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In 2021, we lost 3 colleagues, our family, and our friends, we thank them for the sacrifices they have made to serve the people of Los Santos County, they'll remain forever in our hearts.

     

    The Department is proud of our Firefighters who valiantly tackle a large variety of complex scenes ranging from commercial structure fires, MVA's, and technical rescues. Our Emergency Medical Technicians tackle hazardous scenes ranging from Mass Casualty Incidents, active shooters, and MVA's alongside our Firefighters. Finally, our civilian staff covers a variety of roles from Public Relations, Support Services, and Training and Recruitment.

     

    Quote

    Firefighters, those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice serving this City, the names of which will never be forgotten, these are the people that will forever be engraved within the heart of the Los Santos Fire Department. To save lives by running into burning buildings when everyone is running out is a true testament to the character, and bravery, of a firefighter and the definition of a true hero. The fallen brothers and sisters will never be forgotten for their service to the Fire Department and the great City of Los Santos.

     


    In honor and tribute to all of those fallen firefighters, we are grateful to the Senate and the People of San Andreas for passing the resolution presented to them. The ever-present danger in this job is something we can never underestimate; we hope that the list of fallen firefighters does not extend. Whilst our firefighters might be trained to run into buildings that are on fire, we prioritize safety, but we can never guarantee that a firefighter will return from that dangerous situation unharmed, for that reason, we are whole-heartedly thankful for our servicemen and women, first responders and those out there that actively put their lives on the line for the wellbeing of others every waking day.

    - Fire Chief Gary Young

    When I am called to duty, God, whenever flames may rage;
    Give me strength to save some life, whatever be its age.
    Help me embrace a little child before it’s too late
    Or save an older person from the horror of that fate.
    Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout,
    And quickly and efficiently to put the fire out.
    I want to fill my calling to give the best in me,
    To guard my every neighbor and protect their property.
    And if, according to my fate, I am to lose my life;
    Please bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife.

    LARGE WILDFIRE THREATENS STRUCTURE
    10th of June, 2022
    LSFD Public Relations Trainee Emilia Jenkins

    gta-world-camera-2022-6-9-23-22-34.png

    BLAINE COUNTY - In the late hours of Thursday at approximately 22:00, the 9th of June, the Los Santos Fire Department responded to a reported powerline on fire, upon arrival Battalion Two confirmed that there was a powerline fire, along with a large wildfire reported in the area. A nearby vacant commercial structure was threatened. A large operation followed which spanned 5 different agencies.

    Units from Station Two and Seven were initially dispatched to the scene, due to the scene's complexity and that there was a commercial structure nearby, incident command called for a second alarm which dispatched units from Station One and Station Six for additional resources. Firefighters tackled a challenging environment and limited water supplies to shift operations to protect nearby structures. This involved digging a trench to stop the fire from progressing further. With thanks to Gruppe Six, they were able to provide a water tender for the Fire Department to utilize to refill our Engines as they battled the flames. At approximately 23:00 FIRE-3 helicopter was made available for Aerial Firefighting and greatly assisted with the efforts.

    The Los Santos Fire Department extends our thanks to the San Andreas Park Rangers, Gruppe 6, State Fire Marshals, Public Works, and the citizens of Blaine County for your patience and cooperation during this large wildfire. We are happy to report that no structures were damaged during this fire and no casualties were reported. Public Works are currently on-site and are working to restore power to parts of Sandy Shores, it's expected to be back up by 5:00 AM. Units were dismissed from the scene at 23:30 PM.

    STATION SHOWCASE: LIFEGUARD TOWERS
    5th of June, 2022
    LSFD Public Relations Trainee Emilia Jenkins

    unknown.png

    Welcome to the third instalment of Station Showcase, the weekly series about the Fire Stations the Los Santos Fire Department operates across Los Santos, from Paleto Bay to Los Santos International. The Department's Public Relations Division will be taking a look at the Los Santos County Lifeguards this episode! The Lifeguard Towers located in, Vespucci Beach, the home of the Los Santos County Lifeguards!

     

    History & Facts
    Tower One & Two is not an ordinary Fire Station, that's because it's not a Fire Station at all! It's operated by the Los Santos County Lifeguards! The Lifeguards use the Lifeguard Towers as the primary base of operations and for training. The Lifeguards oversee 24 miles of beaches across San Andreas and are the priority responders for medical incidents in Vespucci Beach.  A brief history fact for you: Did you know the Los Santos County Lifeguards merged with the Fire Department in 1994? The Lifeguards were previously a part of the Department of Beaches and Harbours.

     

    The Lifeguards & Vehicles
    024800d159.png


    The Lifeguards currently operate out of Tower One and Tower Two, both are located at Vespucci Beach merely a 5-minute walk away from each other. Tower One contains the primary base of operations for Lifeguards, it includes bunks, medical equipment, boats, and a small workshop for minor repairs to the vehicles. Tower Two is used for training Trainee Lifeguards, it includes a pool and two classrooms.


    Tower One currently operates a total of 21 vehicles out of the station, namely:

    • 7x CaraCara SUVs
    • 4x Seasharks
    • 4x ATVs
    • 2x Dinghy
    • 2x Fireboats
    • 1x Tractor
    • 1x Rescue Ambulance (full article)

     

    Q&A with Lifeguard Section Chief Rico Marshall
    f377647481.png

    Section Chief Rico Marshall


    Emilia Jenkins: Okay, so first of then, who is Rico Marshall, when did he join the Lifeguards?
    Rico Marshall: Alright so I joined in July 2018, so I'm coming up to my fourth year soon. I joined Lifeguards when it was a fairly small team and ran by one of the old Chiefs Arianna Iglesias. Back then we had I'd say... potentially seven or so members? It was a pretty small team given the division was still finding its feet and members would come and go. After finishing my probation period I aligned myself up to become a Dive Instructor since I enjoyed that subsection a lot and this enabled me to have more input on actual ocean rescues as well. Then the role of senior lifeguard got brought into the team to enable that extra level of supervisory that would help people gain the experience needed for Captaincy and onwards. So I became a Senior Lifeguard and then went from there to Captain and then section chief.

     

    Emilia Jenkins: Do you handle all the beaches across Los Santos County or the entire state?
    Rico Marshall: Alright so, our primary focus is Vespucci beach, however, we can get dispatched to any calls in the entire state in regards to Ocean rescues or events. So say for instance there is a festival at Paleto beach, we can be requested to patrol there instead. Or if there's a lot of activity in Chumash we can send units there to ensure folks stay safe and get that support. For day-to-day running, however, we are for now primarily in Vespucci.

     

    Emilia Jenkins: Any interesting calls you've attended the past week?
    Rico Marshall: We recently got called to a large tugboat accident that had crashed into some rocks and had sent a distress signal out. We eventually located the injured owner on a dinghy, due to the nature of the incident we had to have both Rangers and SFM involvement as well so it was a large team operation that had a successful result at the end of it. You never quite know how rescues are going to go so we are always grateful when we get a successful ending.

     

    Emilia Jenkins: When will you open up recruitment and anything to say to applicants?
    Rico Marshall: In terms of Recruitment we are hoping to open applications middle of June, and I highly recommend those thinking of applying to go for it. Being a part of the team means you are part of something bigger and can help make a difference within the community. A lot of our work isn't just doing medical calls and ocean rescues. We take a big interest in the community and help run events. So every single day is different.
