"OK, I'm with Raccoon Fire Department. I know you're scared, but bear with me. A fire has broken out in the kitchen on the second floor. We'll get you out, but you need to stay calm. Do not attempt to use the elevator. Please make your way to the fire escape and evacuate from there. If anyone is incapable of using the fire escape stairs, please raise your hand and I'll assist you." — An announcement from a R.F.D. firefighter during the Raccoon City Incident (RE:3) |
Raccoon Fire Department (ラクーン消防署 rakūn shōbōsho) was Raccoon City's emergency service dedicated in exterminating fires and rescuing people in certain dangerous situations, such as collapsing or burning buildings or forests.
History[]
Spencer Mansion Incident
The R.F.D. took joint-action with the National Guard in a desperate attempt to suppress a forest fire in July 1998, caused by the destruction of the Arklay Laboratory by S.T.A.R.S.. An area of 750 acres (304 ha; 1.172 sq mi) was destroyed.[1]
Raccoon City Incident
On the evening of September 23rd, the R.F.D. was on full alert as multiple fires broke out in the city as a result of apparent "rioting" that originated from Warren Stadium. Station 18 was sent to the Apple Inn hotel to put out a fire when the hotel's boiler suddenly exploded during a search for survivors conducted by firefighters Len and Charlie which resulted in their instant deaths. Station 18 was assisted by a few of police officers in handling the situation outside of the hotel.[2]
Despite suffering massive casualties, the R.F.D. remained active as late as the early hours of October 1st. A helicopter piloted by two members of Station 18 continued flying in and out of the city to evacuate survivors. The final group rescued had narrowly escaped a bombing that destroyed Raccoon University's medical school building, drawing the R.F.D.'s urgent attention[3]
