At approximately 13:00, the LS Fire Department was aware of reports by the National Weather Service (NWS) of low humidity across Los Santos County and our bordering regions. Based on this information, Crew 3 (the LSFD Wildland Brush Unit) was activated to remain on standby for any incidents. Throughout the day, our bordering regions began to report significant wildfires, namely in San Fierro, where two medium-sized wildfires broke out in their densely forested regions. The Department continued to monitor the situation carefully. At approximately 20:58, the LS Fire Department's Dispatch Center collected numerous 911 calls regarding a wildfire in the Paleto Bay Forest; immediately after, Station 52's Wildland Brush Unit (Crew 3) was activated and deployed to the incident along with Battalion Chief's Moretti and Maxwell, who assumed Incident Command ("Paleto IC"). After the Command was established, the unit began to report numerous screams from the densely forested areas and began search and rescue operations while the Air Operations Division was called in for assistance. Despite the attempts of Crew 3, numerous firelines were breached by the flames, and it began to directly threaten the town of Paleto Bay. Paleto IC ordered all units to fall back to the town, and all available rescue units from the Fire Department and Pillbox Hill Medical Center were called in for assistance. Brush Units were positioned tactically around the LS County Sheriffs Station at Paleto Bay in order to construct defensive lines and trenches to prevent the fire from spreading further. Parts of the town began to experience intermittent outages as powerlines began to fail due to the wildfire. Command Post Paleto was established by Assistant Chief Carter Osby, and he began to oversee the entire operation. Paleto Command Post coordinated a large, multi-agency response along with requesting aid from the state government and Office of Emergency Services. Agencies from across the state responded and began to offer manpower to defend the town of Paleto Bay. During the organization of the multi-agency response, Incident Command reported a downed firefighter and a PASS alarm activation. At this moment, available resources from Brush Unit Alpha and hand crews from the State Fire Marshal's Office tended to him and discovered third-degree burns. He was immediately brought to the triage center at Fire Station 1 (Paleto Bay). SANFIRE and SD units assisted in cutting another line near Paleto Sheriff Station as Line A crews continued with attack in conjunction with Helitanker 55 water drops. Fire was knocked down at 00:32. Crews began overhaul operations. On the opposite side of the Great Ocean, BP52 received support from Helitanker 55. Once water drop support began, the fire on the BP52 side was contained and knocked down at 5:24. Inmates from SADCR arrived to assist with overhaul operations. LSFD crews began rehab, and over night Mutual Aid resources arrived from neighboring areas at the request of the Office of Emergency Services, which contained 5 brush units. As of the 28th of September at 22:00, the total patient count is as follows: 5 patients with burn related injuries 3 patients with blunt force trauma (ranging from fallen objects and/or tree trunks) 4 patients with heat exhaustion and/or smoke inhalation injuries. * Data is collected from Pillbox Hill Medical Center The Department has conducted a preliminary evaluation with the Office of the State Fire Marshal and we've noted the fire to possibly beat the Kurtz Wildfire, Office of the State Fire Marshal is still conducting a full assessment, we expect this to take a number of days. Paleto Bay remains without any utilities, Aurum Energy and the LS City Government's Public Works Division has been in the town all day conducting repairs. Agencies in attendance: LS County Sheriffs Department, Office of the State Fire Marshal, Office of Emergency Services, SA Department of Corrections, LS City Government, San Andreas State Government, San Fierro Fire Department (Mutual Aid) Public Information Officer Assistant Chief Carter Osby COMMENTS ARE ENABLED BUT MODERATED

Mostly admins creating events is the biggest part of our call volume. Some calls are from PD/SD MVAs, rare animal bites or cliff accidents. We can only do so much that doesn't steer into the territory of spoon feeding roleplay, we cannot do it all.

hello i see a few FD related comments so I'll chime in again on behalf of the LSFD Leadership team. The county remains a hot topic and we do regularly discuss it, we absolutely do hear you guys that you want more of a county presence and the overall idea of a seperate volunteer fire department which exclusively covers Paleto Bay / Sandy Shores. We have no interest in creating a new VFD as @Twentybyte has already explained how they operate. Firefighting calls are already extremely few and far between, wildfires especially, doing this will cause internal arguments on jurisidction and end up being a headache for all. Do we have a solution? Yes, we do want to put staff out in the County but it's trying to find that fair balance between ensuring the City (which remains our highest call volume on a scale of 25 calls to 1) has the appropriate coverage. It's a tricky balance and we're regularly discussing future steps. If you do have honest ideas on what the LSFD can do to improve the coverage of the County, my forums DMs are open to feedback and I will get back to you. Paleto Bay is on the up and up with trickles of activity and we do wish for in the future to man the station that covers Paleto Bay. One day, when we do have the staff numbers we will man that place properly, but for now? The City remains our priority and we need to be fair on everyone.

One of the biggest things I don't like with this server is the absolute horrific amount of bureaucracy involved. Want to run a business? Fill out x y z forms, get inspections by SFM, etc. Want to run a event? Do lots of paperwork and micromanaging to even get the event approved. Server needs to be less reliant on paperwork and bureacracy and allow for creative roleplay to flow freely. We're supposed to be a heavy roleplay server but I've had countless experiences in where people barely wrote proper english, why bother? Admin punishments are wish washy some of the time and it's simply not consistent.

Suggestion template Detailed Description The Go Postal job should be updated to support the newer cargo vehicles, for example, the Benefactor Jogger Cargo variants, it's currently restricted to 3 van types and its very restricting on what you can use. Relevant Commands/Items N/A How will it benefit the server? More diversity in vehicles delivering parcels!
