Faction Profile
The Leonida Fire Department covers the full range of fire and rescue scenarios that a state with Vice City at its center generates. Structure fires in the dense hotel and commercial zones. Vehicle fires on the Vice County highway network. Boat fires in the Keys marina. And the specific category of large structural fire that the fire has always served as a set piece.
Vice City's building density and the materials that go into Vice City nightlife create a fire risk profile that the department manages continuously. The Art Deco buildings of South Beach are beautiful. The electrical infrastructure behind the facades is vintage. The fire department knows which blocks have the oldest wiring.
Water rescue is the Keys and Grassrivers operation. The fire department covers maritime rescue in coordination with the Coast Guard on the outer water. In the Grassrivers, the fire department's airboat capability overlaps with the Animal Control and EMS coverage of the wetland system. All three agencies occasionally arrive at the same incident from different directions.
