About SAFR
We are San Andreas Fire Rescue
We are Blaine County's largest firefighting, technical rescue, and EMS organisation. We provide emergency and urgent services free of charge to residents at the time they receive it.
We answer dozens of calls per day and our crews attend more emergencies than any other fire and rescue service in San Andreas.
Every day, SAFR takes care of some of the most critical patients in rural San Andreas. And we’re able to do it because we’ve built a strong team of firefighters, paramedics, pilots, dispatchers, and administrative staff all working together to make patient-centred care our priority.
Meet our leadership team
Our leadership team comprises a Chief, several senior officers, as well as our Captains and Lieutenants.
Together, they are responsible for setting the strategic direction, culture and organisational performance of our department and are accountable for ensuring that SAFR delivers safe, high-quality care to the people of San Andreas.
