This is the guide for the firefighter test, found at Alpha Fire Station (711 64 -677). Firefighters are emergency responders in Vindex Nation; firefighters extinguish fires across the country and rescue

neglected and/or abused animals.
You must be 1 week crime free to be a firefighter!
A firefighter is a government job, so you cannot commit crimes within your post! Other punitive damages include:

- Unprofessionalism
- Disrespect
- Leaking 911 Broadast
- Insubordination
- Incapable of duty: failure to respond to fires etc.
As a firefighter, you will be alerted of fires in two ways: through fire alarms and through reports

from dispatch or a citizen. The former may look like:
A fire has started at: 341, 60, -499, sound the alarms!
The latter can be found in 911 Broadcast or global.
911 Broadcast is the

You may access the broadcast with the command /911b. A callsign is also needed for the broadcast- this is to be assigned to you

As previously mentioned, 911 broadcast is the communication service used by emergency services. In 911b, we use:
- Radio Codes

5. PROCEDURE
When responding to fires...
We use 911 Broadcast to communicate and state the status of the situation.
This is a general example of a response to a fire:
Page 21 of 26
A fire has started at: 341, 60, -499, sound the alarms!
/911b [HJ-##] 10-17
Warps to fire station, spawns fire engine from car sign and drives to fire
/911b [HJ-##] 10-23
Now arrived at scene, ready to extinguish any fires and secure
the scene
Page 22 of 26
/911b [HJ-##] Fire cleared; # casualties
Fire is now cleared, stating how many casualities happened on scene.
This is just a general example of a fire response. You will be expected to work with EMTs in a real scenario.

Using shotgun procedure...
Shotgun procedure is the collaborative procedure used in responding to fires.
>
Page 24 of 26
In a fire engine:
- The lowest ranking individual is the driver.
- The higher ranking
individual is 'shotgun'
The driver drives to the scene and extinguishes the fire, whilst the shotgun submits the radio codes within 911b and secures the scene.

When rescuing animals...
You must be certified to do so. Animals are to be rescued, transported by fire engines and deposited at the animal rescue center.
