On the evening of the 29th November, several 911 calls were made, reporting a vehicle on fire at the side of the interstate. The vehicle was in a large blaze, with gas, oil and car parts surrounding the sidewalk. Upon arrival at the scene, the vehicle was burning with a male inside. Shaw News were the first on the scene, attempting to fight the fire with a fire extinguisher, part of the duty fleet. However, the blaze continued to grow. Shortly afterwards, a police officer arrived. However, the Fire Department didn’t respond to the call for at least 10 minutes after. The Fire Department Finally Responds After a long ten minutes or so of the vehicle burning, the fire department responded to the call and arrived on the scene. The firefighter attempted to open the vehicle door with a crowbar, but was unsuccessful in her first attempt. The debris on the sidewalk was stunning. With oil, gas and car parts littering the sidewalk like general rubbish, the vehicle continued to burn. The fuel from the vehicle also managed to catch fire, further fueling the blaze. Once the male was out of the vehicle, the firefighter continued to fight the blaze. While the fire was attended to, the police officer assessed the male. The male was found to contain signs of a head injury, along with some internal bleeding. He continued to lay on the ground, with a weak pulse. Quickly after the initial assessment, the male showed signs of breathing struggles. The officer continued to use a BVM, in order to provide oxygen to the male. However, the male didn’t respond, with his heart rate low and falling. It was confirmed that his heart rate was 35 BPM and falling, while also bleeding from his cuts and burns. The firefighter began to assist once the fire was out. The firefighter along with the officer from the LSPD continued to work on the male. We overheard the officer request an ambulance, however it was mentioned that no ambulances were available within the department. As the team continued to assess and treat the male, it was quickly uncovered that he had a range of second and third degree burns from the fire. Around 8 minutes after the conversation about ambulances, one arrived on the scene to assist with the male. The police officer had also assessed the male’s pupils to find indication of a brain injury. The team from the ambulance got a stretcher from the ambulance, rushing over to the male. Within a few minutes, the male was placed on a board, then onto the stretcher for transport. The driver of the vehicle was then transported to a nearby hospital.

On the evening of November 30th, the Los Santos Police Department got reports of a gate break-in on Maccer Street, Willowfield. Upon arriving at the address, the lock on the gate had been damaged and the gate had been forced open. The land contained two vehicles, registered to a member of the Gvardia Family. Upon further inspection, the owner has relations with the neighbouring garage, Fix N Tune, with it being owned by other members of the Gvardia Family. However, a few weeks ago, Los Santos Traffic Services had issued a warrant on this same piece of land for illegal parking. It was confirmed that those parking were from the same family, using the land for their own vehicles as bulk storage. As a result, the owner of the land had a gate installed, to prevent further parking. However, it seems the criminals responsible for the gate break-in, didn’t find it much trouble to break the lock. Illegal Parking On The Rise Since Los Santos Traffic Services was suspended from duty, the amount of Illegal Parking in the city has risen dramatically. People are parking across sidewalks, on private driveways and much more. This follows the suspension of Towing Operations after a recent court case into unfair parking enforcement in the city. However, this has had a detrimental effect on our streets. People are now resulting into criminal damage in order to park their vehicles, which is unacceptable. We have written to the Los Santos Traffic Services Director, Cletus Taylor, for comment.
