Frederick Dowell is a man in his fifties. Once a young, idealistic college graduate, Dowell enlisted in the United States Marine Corps after encouragement from his family. He worked his way up to become a sergeant in his weapons platoon. Upon separation from the military, Dowell entered the workforce in the public sector. Forced to work with little resources in a complex environment where no one seems to care, Dowell kept his skeptical and aloof views on the world, but at the same time rediscovered his old values. Despite adversity, Dowell finds a way to last in places where many people were, but few remain. This is his story. Real waste. Intense sanitation. Severe consequences.

Fire devastates Mirror Park Gas Station Monday, 11th February 2019 LSFD Public Relations: Chloe MacKenzie Limited Ltd Gasoline the following morning after being devastated by the fire. MIRROR PARK - At 01:48 on Friday the 8th February 2018, 911 received a call from a business reporting there was a fire inside a Gas Station's 24/7 store at Limited Ltd Gasoline on West Mirror Drive, and that a person may be trapped. The Los Santos Fire Department requested a structure fire response of one Battalion Chief, two Engines and a Rescue Ambulance to the scene. On arrival Engine 1 reported a one storey commercial structure was fully involved in flame showing from all windows and the roof, establishing Mirror Incident Command. A defensive mode was initiated, which means Firefighters were told to stay out of the structure and hit it from all sides with water, and then foam. Engine 2 was unable to make it to the scene due to staff shortages, but a further request was made for Rapid Attack Tender 1 to attend the scene to get close to the structure and attack it with a high volume deluge gun of foam. Five SCBA pack wearers, four attack lines and one deluge gun fought hard to knock back the flame before switching to an offensive mode at 02:23. With this change of tactic, Firefighters were allowed to begin climbing a ladder to ventilate the structure by cutting open the roof before a primary search was begun. Thankfully during the search Firefighters inside the building confirmed that there was no persons found trapped inside, and forwarded the information to Battalion Chief 1, Ryan Lionheart who passed on the information to the Los Santos Police Department - allowing them to reassure concerned citizens for any workers inside the store. After 1 hour and 11 minutes of aggressive Firefighting, a knock down was declared at 02:59 and fire operations ceased shortly afterwards. The incident was handed over to Marshal 1 of the State Fire Marshal's division at 03:09 in order to conduct an investigation of what caused the fire. The cause of the fire is still being investigated but a preliminary investigation suggests it may have been due to faulty electronics, which ignited a fire and quickly involved the premises. One store and two cars were destroyed in the fire, but thankfully there were no injuries and the gas pumps and properties either side of the store were not damaged by the fire. This fire only comes 4 months after the Gas Pumps at the same business, Gasoline Ltd Limited, were destroyed in a fatal explosion on the 17th October 2018, after a car collided with the pumps.
