Raymond Douglas

That's a fuel tank. Ignite it to kill these bastards; Do it now!.

Raymond Douglas was an officer of the Raccoon Police Department in the isolated midwestern mountain community of Raccoon City.

Biography
Some time before 1998, Douglas was involved in an investigation of the Arklay Hospital, which may have involved the discovery of corpses.

On September 24, shortly after the Tyrant virus threat was realized, Raymond Douglas was one of several R.P.D. officers responsible for aiding the evacuation of hundreds of civilians during the fall of Raccoon City.

He was involved with the helicopter evacuation effort taking place just north of Raccoon Zoo. His role being to notify survivors of the times in which the helicopter would arrive.

He was later encountered by survivors outside of J's Bar, armed with a SPAS-12 shotgun, helping fellow R.P.D. officer Kevin Ryman and others through the alleyways adjacent to the bar. After leading the group to the canal banking, he was overwhelmed by the infected. He told the group to set off a nearby fuel tank to escape and left a Lighter for them to use before being killed.

Trivia

 * He is one of the few NPCs in the series to actively aid the player by attacking enemies. Being a scripted AI, he cannot be killed by enemies either, until you reach the canal.
 * His death appears differently in Hard and Very Hard mode from what it does in Easy and Normal. Instead of being thrown to the floor by Zombies and his neck and throat being ripped out, he is attacked by a Scissor Tails, which again attacks his neck.
