It may well be that you’ve had enough of all the heists, shootings and wanton destruction that go around in… Grand Theft Auto V such a wonderful way to pass the time. Maybe you’re looking for a little more variety and different activities. The Firefighter Mod allows you to continue racing through the city at top speed, but instead of hurting the residents of Los Santos, you can now actually start helping them.
When you start the mod, you will be teleported to a fire station in either Sandy Shores or Paleto Bay (a station in the city is planned for the near future), dressed in typical firefighter getup. You can choose to be a firefighter driving around in the fire truck or the incident commander driving around in a red Granger SUV.
Then all you have to do is wait for an emergency call or press a button that triggers one. If there is a fire, the location of the fire will be marked on your minimap and you will be given a route to take. As soon as you arrive on site, with sirens blaring of course, jump out of the vehicle and grab a fire extinguisher from the car or use the vehicle’s extinguishing device. Fires can start in shops, apartments and houses, but also simply on the side of the road. Occasionally vehicles also catch fire. Get to work and fight the fire. Be careful of exploding gas bottles and fuel tanks.
They can also come to the aid of residents who have medical emergencies. Once you’ve located these poor people on your map – they’re usually face down on the ground – you’ll need to get to them and press “Z” to initiate CPR.
It may take a while and it may require some resuscitation attempts, but there is a chance you can save the citizen’s life. If that’s the case, he’ll get up and walk away like nothing happened. (The guy in the picture above stood up, immediately picked up his cell phone and started talking as if he hadn’t just been brought back from the brink of death by a heroic firefighter.) Other times, unfortunately, you’ll be too late to get to the resident who becomes another victim of too many meals at Burger Shot.
The mod is still in its infancy, which is why some things don’t work properly yet. Once a fire has been extinguished, you will have to finish the mission manually as the game will not notice that you are finished. You can also help after car accidents, but currently it doesn’t seem to be possible to resuscitate the accident victims, even if you drag them out of the cars (you have to get into the accident car yourself). Sometimes NPCs react hostilely when you use your fire extinguisher: they don’t attack you, but they get angry and insult you. However, you can use the ‘evacuate area’ function to make them run away if they become too annoying.
Racing towards fires and trying to revive people is pretty entertaining though. But once things went terribly wrong for me: while I was trying to put out a burning car with the extinguisher on my fire truck, the car exploded and set my own car on fire. This was embarrassing because another fire engine had to come in to put out this new fire.
The modder is still expanding and improving this mod, so you should keep an eye on it to see how it develops. The control is in the readme file, which is included in the download and there is one Video instructionswhich will help you install and set up the mod.You need Alexander Blade’s ScriptHookwhich comes with the ASI loader, and more Community ScriptHook.
