In the early hours of December 12th, the Los Santos Fire Department received a 911 call, regarding a black van outside of Club Tableau.
As the call was made to the fire department, we would assume that the vehicle was smoking or potentially on fire at the time. We made way to the scene, with the fire engine across Los Santos.
Upon arrival to the scene, a black van was present outside of Club Tableau. A male was driving the vehicle, and a female was stood on the sidewalk. As we approached, the female got into the vehicle and the male driving sped away in the van, heading towards Perishing Square.
As the call was made to the Fire Department, the police didn’t arrive on the scene before the van sped away. However, our on-scene news reporting unit is fitted with front and rear dash cameras, which recorded the incident.
It seems the call was an attempt to waste the resources of the fire department. However, the above video confirms that the driver was a male, wearing a tan checked shirt, and a female with reasonable length hair, black trousers and boots.
Our team are working to identify the individuals in this video. If you know who they are, please call #423 immediately.
Valuable Resources, Wasted
Fire Department resources are stretched. They are struggling to respond to the people in need due to a lack of funding, a lack of staff and a lack of working equipment.
Making hoax calls to the fire department is no joke. A fire engine was dispatched, at the cost of the taxpayer, for nothing. The firefighter, spending around the clock on-call, waiting for those in need.
It’s childish, and pathetic.
