Welcome to the Red County Fire Department.

The Red County Fire Department is a governmental organisation that operates within Red County, however it is sometimes deployed to the surrounding counties and areas inside the State of San Andreas due to their lack of fire and medical services. The department focuses on a variety of different tasks that force firefighters and medics to perform to the best of their ability. Our members are constantly tested to their limits with a variety of different 911 and departmental calls which keep us on our toes.

The Red County Fire Department has a few goals which we continually strive to achieve. They are:
 

• To save lives of the public and other departments
• To fight structure, vehicular and garbage fires
• To rescue those stranded in forestall or marine areas 
• To protect the public from fire hazards, medical hazards, etc.
• To inform the public on basic treatment
• To deliver the highest quality of services
• To respond as quickly as we possibly can
• To maintain great inter-departmental and public relations

No matter what, your Fire Department will continue to work tirelessly in order to deliver the best medical treatment inside of the State of San Andreas. By putting your lives in our hands, you should feel comfortable with being treated by us. The services that we provide range from establishing search teams in order to search for those who have gone missing to simply making sure you get home safely after a night of heavy drinking. We'll be there for you when you need us the most, even if you don't realise just how much you need us.

Within the department, we have multiple certifications. Certifications grant a person the right to perform certain procedures upon a person. These certifications are defined below:
Basic Life Support (BLS) relates to the most basic form of life support, such as gunshot wounds.
Intermediate Life Support (ILS) relates to more advanced life support, such as intravenous drug admission.
Advanced Life Support (ALS) mainly relates to the usage of advanced apparatus, such as LIFEPAK.
Fire & Rescue (FR) relates to being able to combat fires, rescue people from buildings and assist in MVAs.

We the people of the United States of America gather around State Police headquarters following a parade for a 4th of July Celebration! The Parade began to mobilise in Fort Carson at 16:00 to begin its journey through Red County. The first stop was Blueberry, hometown of the well-known farmers of the county, whom are known to supply most of the state with fresh organic produce. Candy and treats were being thrown from the State Police float, which appeared to have drawn in a brilliant crowd.

The parade as it went through Blueberry.

The parade then journeyed Eastbound (and down!) out of Blueberry and into Montgomery, Red County's most well-known town. The crowd was certainly at its peak at this stop, shown by the many eager watchers jumping onto the floats to join in with the parade!

The parade as it went through Montgomery.

The final stop was the humble yet beautiful town of Palomino Creek. The parade then moved on westbound from Palomino to head towards Dillimore.. only to arrive at a barbeque party behind the State Police headquarters, complete with a music DJ and drinks! The party is still live as of this moment, so come on down, grab a burger and a beer, and celebrate with us!

The State Police wishes to remind all citizens celebrating the Fourth of July not to drink and drive, and be safe with the fireworks that they may be setting off. Make sure sparklers are put into pails of water after use!

Dear Employees,

As we move fully into summer weather, many of our colleagues and staff will be taking annual leave over the coming months, so there may be challenging times ahead for responding to calls.

Recently there has been a problem with low-scale 911 calls being handled and the time in which they're being handled. This is something which will need to be addressed from the top down and we will be rolling out changes over the coming weeks to ensure that all calls are handled with the same efficiency and care than emergency ones.

The Joint Tactical and Intelligence Centre is still under construction at the moment - we will be coming to some of the people who have highlighted interests in being a part of this team, and asking if they would like to assist constructing the foundations of the team, and how it will work going forward.

We also have our 4th of July celebrations coming up in a couple of days with different parades and events upcoming over the next week or so.

Thanks,
High Command Team.

EDITION TWO - JUNE, 2017

As many of you will know, I held a talk show to get your opinions on one of the fastest growing musical genres within the county (from my perspective) – rap. As street gangs become increasingly prominent within society and daily life; not just the rise of them, but also the fall, we connect such a genre with them, as well as each and every facet within the genre. The themes, the emotions, the raw and harsh language.

Within the talk show, my discoveries stretched beyond discovering the sub-genres of rap, unbeknownst to me prior to the show – I talked with wise individuals who filled me in on how it’s so much more than what some perceive to be expletives and unnecessary arrogance. Our first caller, going by the name of Topher, informed me of sub-divisions such as ‘Chicano rap’ – after some slight research, I discovered that it covered rap within Latin America – with Chicano being a slang word for Mexican Americans. Anyone familiar with Montgomery would be familiar with the various Latin street gangs rising, developing, falling and changing over the past year at the very least – bring such a new level of relevance of such an ‘urban’ style of music into the counties. Our next caller Vinnie opened our eyes towards aspiring rapper Don Omar, a Puerto Rican rapper whose tracks have found their way into films such as The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Evidently, the sub-division of Latin rap seems to have gained a rising influence over the counties, rather than the stereotypical African-American rap most people think of upon the mention of ‘rap’ – an incredibly broad genre indeed.

Our proceeding callers delved into the emotions put across through the medium of rap, and how it has got so much more to offer than it does at face value. Caller Effie informed us that rap is not just a genre of music, but it is in fact ‘style, culture, and a way of living’. She went on to suggest that rap is a ‘collage’ taking inspiration from multiple other genres of music and putting it into its own, fresh style and wording to make it relevant to the rapper and the listener. However, another caller Marcello managed to put across his sentiments towards rap in such a passionate way; affirming the fact rap has so much more value to it than just guns, drugs and ‘booty’ [sic], but it’s about ‘rapping the dream’ and a medium in which they announce their aspirations to the listener; it gives such freedom to the rapper, and the essence of rap is within the freedom of being able to say and do what they want. The most poignant line from our conversation – to me – has to be “don’t listen with your head, listen with your heart”.

This would not be an article if I did not display two sides to the story, however. After the talk show, I engaged in a short conversation with Martin, who put across his firm views towards rap in a rather blunt sense; evidently unaffected by the words of the previous callers. He informed me that to him, rap ‘simply ruined music’, and that it’s nothing more than ‘speaking’ with a beat in the background. He went on to describe some of his people of interest, such as Chris Cornell, Freddie Mercury, and Michael Jackson – none of which are still with us – and the raw emotion they promote through the melodic voices, as opposed to how he viewed rapping.
It was surprising to me that even after hearing the views of those in favour of rap, such a rapidly developing genre of music, comprising countless subdivisions, some callers were still unmoved. Of course, it’s all down to opinion, and many people say opinion is like a mixtape in itself; they do not want to hear yours. However, that’s not what this is about. Whether you like rap or not, it is here to stay in this society, and it clearly generates a personal identity with multiple races, age groups, and ethnicities throughout our country.
