Divisions

There are several divisions of the SAFD. They include the San Andreas Fire Department itself, the Airport Division, San Fire, and the Fire Prevention Bureau.

• The San Andreas Fire Department, as mentioned above, is the State of San Andreas' Fire Prevention and Response authority, whose main function is to protect the State of San Andreas from unintentional fires and arsons, as well as implement and enforce preventative measures to protect the State. Stations 1, 2, and 3 are part of this division.
• The Airport Division of the SAFD is the division solely responsible for handling all fire-related emergencies at all state airports, with three Stations covering the Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas Airports to ensure minimum response time in large-scale emergencies. Stations 4, 5, and 6 are part of this division. As an exception, Station 3 is tasked with handling the abandoned airstrip in the Bone County area of the state, due to this airstrip being privately owned and non-operational.
• San Fire is a state-wide divisional agency run by the ARFD in accordance with local Fire Departments such as LSFD, SFFD, and LVFD, in order to prevent wildfires within rural areas of the state. This is considered to be a separate division from the Fire Prevention Bureau, as it is run under state authority, rather than by the Department itself, although the SAFD has complete control over the division within it's jurisdiction.
• The Fire Prevention Bureau is the SAFD's premier authority in the prevention of fire-related emergencies, as well as the enforcement of codes and laws pertaining to fire-prevention safety. Seen as Fire Marshals for each Department, members of the Fire Prevention Bureau are tasked with inspecting all buildings in relations to safety codes, and also have the ability to fine those in violation of the United States Of Argonath's Fire Laws, including any local Fire Laws imposed by the state, county, or city within the SAFD's jurisdiction.
