Fire Department of Liberty City (HD Universe)


 * For the Fire Department in the 3D Universe, see Liberty City Fire Department (3D Universe).

The Liberty City Fire Department (FDLC) is the Fire Department of Liberty City in the HD Universe. The FDLC is based on the New York City Fire Department (FDNY).

Overview
Like in previous games, the Fire Department of Liberty City (FDLC) operates Fire Trucks in their service, and has several stations throughout all of Liberty City and Alderney. The motto of the FDLC is "Feel The Burn"; this can be seen in fire houses as well as on all of the FDLC's apparatus.

Unlike previous renditions of fire departments, the GTA IV rendition of the FDLC is less responsive towards fire. They do not automatically rush to blazes, and can only be called in using the player's "911" mobile phone call. However, even if there is a fire and the player calls them, they will ignore it and leave after a few seconds. One of the only notable times the FDLC will respond to a fire is the mission "Rigged to Blow".

Equipment and Vehicles
Overall the firefighters seem to have gotten an overhaul since GTA III, the firefighters now wear full turn out gear (resembles MorningPride gear as per to resemble FDNY), wear Air Packs (it looks like the Scott 4.5 model) and have helmets with patches that say ENGINE 69, also some gear is hung on racks, either to dry off or for firefighters who are not working.

List of Fire Stations
In total, there are at least eight functional Fire Stations scattered all over Liberty City in GTA IV (fire stations in Alderney are not present in GTA: Chinatown Wars, since Alderney is not featured in the game):


 * Dillon Street, Rotterdam Hill, Broker, - Broker Fire Station
 * Francis International Airport, Dukes. - Francis International Airport Fire Station
 * Worm Street, Northern Gardens, Bohan, - Bohan Fire Station
 * Exeter Avenue, Northwood, Algonquin. Between Boleyn St. - Northwood Fire Station
 * Frankfort Avenue, Westminster, Algonquin, also known as "Engine 47" (unmarked on map). - Westminster Fire Station
 * Privateer Road, Fishmarket South, Algonquin. - Fishmarket South Fire Station
 * Vitullo Avenue, Berchem, Alderney, also known as "Ladder Company No. 1" and "Engine Company No. 2". - Berchem Fire Department
 * Hardtack Avenue, Tudor, Alderney. - Tudor Fire Station

Note that in GTA IV, the only Fire Stations that have a parked fire truck outside the station are the ones in Bohan, Algonquin (with the exception of the Westminster Fire Station) and Alderney.

Trivia

 * In TBoGT, when at the Fire Department on Worm Street, and if the player gets the police on them, the security guards from The Triangle Strip Club will come running in with the police, although they are unarmed and can easily be killed.
 * Unlike real firefighters, their protective gear is not fire proof, for example, if a molotov cocktail is thrown at them, they will be burned and thus killed or critically wounded by the extent of their burns.
