Fire Truck

To prepare for The Bureau Raid, Franklin must acquire a fire truck to infiltrate the building under the guise of responding to an emergency.

“Fire Truck” is a setup mission in Grand Theft Auto V, essential for carrying out The Bureau Raid heist using the fireman approach. In this mission, Franklin is tasked with obtaining a fire truck that will be used to infiltrate the FIB building as part of the elaborate heist plan.

The mission “Fire Truck” is straightforward: Franklin must acquire a fire truck, either by calling 911 or stealing one from a station, and then deliver it to the hideout in preparation for The Bureau Raid. Timing and strategy are crucial as players must avoid causing too much chaos while stealing the vehicle.

Objectives

• Call 911 to request a fire truck, or steal one from a nearby fire station.
• Deliver the fire truck to the hideout.
• Avoid attracting police attention while delivering the truck.

Setting

The mission takes place in Los Santos, with the fire truck either stolen from a fire station or obtained through an emergency call. The setting is open-ended, allowing players to choose how they want to acquire the truck and deliver it back to the heist preparation location.

Objective 1: Acquire the Fire Truck

• Call 911: Open the in-game phone and call 911. Request emergency services and select the fire department option. When a fire truck arrives, hijack it without killing the firefighters to avoid gaining a wanted level.
• Alternative Option: Players can go directly to a fire station and steal a truck parked outside. This method may attract police attention depending on how the theft is handled.

Objective 2: Deliver the Fire Truck

• Drive to the Location: Once Franklin has acquired the fire truck, the next task is to deliver it to the crew’s hideout. A GPS marker will show the delivery point.
• Avoid Attention: If you stole the truck from a station or attracted a wanted level, evade the police before proceeding to the delivery point. Use alleys or hiding spots to lose your wanted level if necessary.

Objective 3: Mission Conclusion

• Park the Truck: Deliver the fire truck to the designated spot at the hideout. After parking it, the mission will be complete.
• Rewards: The mission is part of the preparation for The Bureau Raid, so there is no direct monetary reward. Successfully completing this mission sets up the heist, advancing the storyline.

• The fire truck is essential for the “Fire Crew” approach to The Bureau Raid heist, which allows the crew to disguise themselves as firefighters while they infiltrate the FIB building.
• If the player chooses to call 911 for the fire truck, it provides a less chaotic and simpler approach to completing the mission.
• The mission offers flexibility in how players choose to acquire the fire truck, allowing for either a quiet or aggressive strategy.
• During this mission, players can explore Los Santos and choose the nearest fire station for a quicker completion, making use of in-game knowledge.
• The fire truck can spray water, which is a fun and unique gameplay mechanic, although it doesn’t have much impact during the mission itself.
