2.2 - Response Procedures:

As San Andreas Fire Rescue, it is required that units respond to all Fire and EMS -related emergencies within San Andreas. As Station 4 is airport-side, Station 4 personnel are mandated to have all other stations be committed before responding to emergencies that are not in their primary jurisdiction.

If an apparatus has to drive on or pass-through any active runway or taxiway, they must first get permission via ATC via in-apparatus radio to the tower and then activate their lights while on the runway or taxiway.

The Crash Truck is only allowed on the Airport’s airside. If Station 4 must respond to a call, either on the Airport’s landside or within their secondary jurisdiction, personnel are able to utilize the stored Brush Truck alongside the Medic.
