'''Esplanade North''' is a district in [[San Fierro]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]]. It is situated on the northern end of the city, and is meant to emulate San Francisco's biggest tourist trap, Pier 39, also known as Fisherman's Wharf. In fact, there is a re-creation of the pedestrian-heavy Pier 39, known as [[Pier 69]], one of the numerous in-game references to the "[[69]]" sexual position. West of the district is [[Battery Point]], while to the far east is the [[Tierra Robada]] region. North of the district is [[San Fierro Bay]], while to the south/southeast are the districts of [[Esplanade East]], [[Calton Heights]] and [[Downtown San Fierro|Downtown]].

The '''Fire Truck''' (or '''Firetruck''') is a general purpose fire truck equipped with a water cannon. The Fire Truck has appeared in every [[Grand Theft Auto|GTA]] game.
People frequenting Esplanade North are very diverse, with many of them appearing to be tourists. The general atmosphere is one of capitalistic fervor and a sort of disdain for the area by the city's locals. Similar to Fisherman's Wharf, the occasional food retailer can be spotted in this area, as well as a mothballed submarine.
== Description ==
==Events of GTA San Andreas==
The Fire Truck is depicted in every appearance as a large truck-based vehicle with a predominantly red paintjob, long chassis and bulky design, evidently to contain firefighting equipment. Being an emergency vehicle, the vehicle has a good top speed, however its weight gives it poor-to-moderate acceleration, and poor handling. In most GTA games, the Fire Truck spawns where large fires or explosions have occurred. Since GTA 2, Fire Trucks may be found at fire stations as well.
[[Carl Johnson|Carl "CJ" Johnson's]] arrival in San Fierro is met with an enormous amount of work for him to do in this new city. In addition to renovating the derelict garage he won in a [[Farewell, My Love...|street race]] with [[Claude]] and [[Catalina]], Carl begins to establish himself as an entrepreneur in San Fierro by acquiring numerous properties and businesses throughout the city, including [[Wang Cars]], a dealership in [[Downtown San Fierro|Downtown]] that he uses as a front for the new chop-shop in [[Doherty]]. But this is only the beginning of Carl's work in San Fierro. He has just been informed that the entity responsible for the events leading up to this point, the [[Loco Syndicate]], is largely based in this new city, with its leaders close by. Attempting to infiltrate the syndicate, Carl begins working for the syndicate's concierge, a pimp, [[Jizzy B.]], who resides in the [[The Pleasure Domes Club|Pleasure Domes Club]] under the [[Gant Bridge]] in [[Battery Point]]. After working for Jizzy and gaining his trust, Carl meets another head of the Loco Syndicate, [[T-Bone Mendez|"T-Bone" Mendez]]. After he and Mendez [[Mike Toreno (mission)|locate and rescue]] a kidnapped [[Mike Toreno|Michael "Mike" Toreno]], the one pulling all the strings, the pieces begin falling into place.
Fire trucks in the GTA series tend to feature a high-powered deck mounted water cannon that is not only capable of putting out fires that are burning alone or burning pedestrians or cars (especially from GTA III onwards), but is also equally capable of pushing pedestrians back. In GTA IV, the water cannon can eventually kill a pedestrian, although this must be done for a prolonged period of time.
Apart from this, Carl befriends his countryside acquaintance [[Wu Zi Mu|Wu Zi "Woozie" Mu]] by meeting him at his apartment in the city's [[Chinatown, San Fierro|Chinatown]], where he finds out that Woozie is the leader of the local [[San Fierro Triads|Triad]] gang. Beginning to work for Woozie in order to help him, he also meets Woozie's senior leader, [[Ran Fa Li|Ran Fa "Farlie" Li]] and his translator, [[Su Xi Mu|Su Xi "Suzi" Mu]], during a visit. Farlie and Suzi request Woozie to retrieve a package hidden in a [[Manana|car]] parked at the city's [[Easter Bay Airport|international airport]], and Carl offers his services to act as a decoy against the gang's sworn rivals in town, the [[Da Nang Boys]], who attempt an ambush. Carl [[Ran Fa Li (mission)|saves the package from serious damage and takes it safely]] to a pier garage in the district.
=== GTA 1 — GTA 2 ===
Carl begins his take-down of the Loco Syndicate by paying Jizzy an unexpected visit at the Pleasure Domes Club, after which he is forced to chase Jizzy when he runs out the front door and drives away in panic. After [[Ice Cold Killa|killing]] Jizzy, Cesar informs Carl of a meeting taking place at Pier 69 in Esplanade North. Carl heads out there to find Mendez about to meet Carl's old associate from [[Grove Street]], [[Ryder|Lance "Ryder" Wilson]], as well as with Toreno. After blowing his cover, Carl is then forced to [[Pier 69 (mission)|chase down]] Mendez and Ryder on the pier's pedestrian mall. After shooting Mendez off the side of the guard rail, and into [[San Fierro Bay]], Carl then has to swim through part of the bay to a boat in order to chase down Ryder, who had jumped into the bay in an attempt to escape. After killing Ryder, Carl [[Toreno's Last Flight|locates and shoots down]] the [[Maverick|chopper]] that was presumably carrying Toreno to the meeting, ending the Loco Syndicate.
Prior to GTA III, the Fire Truck's main virtues are its large size and weight, which make the vehicle resilient to damage and difficult for most other cars to ram off-course. Other common traits of these early renditions are their average speed, and poorer acceleration and cornering, as well as a functional water cannon that serves as a passive weapon which pushes (human) targets back using a gush of water. While revealed in game files in GTA 1 and GTA London to be valued at $15,000 and £1,500, respectively, the vehicle cannot be exported as it is too large.
GTA 1 features two variants of the Fire Truck, with one appearing in [[Liberty City in GTA 1|Liberty City]] and [[Vice City in GTA 1|Vice City]], and the other exclusive to [[City of San Andreas|San Andreas]]; their exact sources of inspiration are unknown, but are generally depicted in the style of typical American fire trucks. The Fire Truck featured in GTA London, however, assumes a more European design, likely to be based on a chassis of a British lorry; the vehicle's design is also adapted into the [[ICBM]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969|GTA London 1969]].
Later, Carl and his brother-in-law-in-courtship [[Cesar Vialpando]], the leader of the Mexican-American [[Varrios Los Aztecas]], steal [[Elegy|two]] [[Sultan|cars]] from a [[Otto's Autos|showroom]] on the edge of the district [[Test Drive|for their vehicular chop-shop business]].
In GTA 2, the Fire Truck is designed in a classical [[wp:American LaFrance|American LaFrance]]-like appearance, in line with the game's retro-futuristic styling. A Fire Truck with a mounted [[Weapons in GTA 2|flamethrower]] may also be unlocked by completing the [[Wang Cars]] side quest. Like in earlier games, the Fire Truck is too large to be [[Crusher|crushed]].

=== GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories ===
==Stationary vehicles==
The [[GTA III Era]] Fire Truck can reach high speeds and has good acceleration, however the resulting lack of traction in such a heavy vehicle makes it susceptible to oversteer and spinning. Like [[Police Car]]s and [[Ambulance]]s, it is equipped with sirens that make traffic move out of the way. Its hose can be used to spray pedestrians, knocking them down. The player can also activate [[Firefighter]] missions with the Fire Truck.
*[[Marquis]] (x3)
*[[Reefer]]
Fire Trucks also have lots of hitting power. They can send smaller vehicles flying and will make short work of getting through [[Enforcer]] barricades. When ramming, it is best that you get the Fire Truck to top speed for maximum hitting power. Most vehicles can be pushed out of the way by the Fire Truck.
==Other==
*[[Camera]] (x2)
*Three [[Snapshot|snapshots]]
In GTA San Andreas, a second Fire Truck variant exists, equipped with a non-interactive ladder but having no water cannon, sirens or functional strobe lights, and does not allow the player to trigger the fire-fighting side-mission. Unlike the hose variant, the ladder variant does not sustain cosmetic damage except for its breakable headlights. It is also worth noting that the ladder variant is enabled to use the [[Pay N' Spray]], allowing the player to repair the vehicle. The vehicle has no other practical use besides basic transport. However with the help of mods, the ladder can be controlled.

In GTA III, GTA Vice City, GTA Liberty City Stories, and GTA Vice City Stories, the Fire Truck is based on a [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Crab_Orchard_FD_Engine_14_%282006%29_Pierce_Contender.JPG/800px-Crab_Orchard_FD_Engine_14_%282006%29_Pierce_Contender.JPG Pierce Contender], with the front resembling a [http://www.chilhowiefire.org/images/appratus/Engine252Tour/Engine-252.jpg Seagrave Marauder]; unlike many vehicles in GTA Vice City Stories, however, the Fire Truck in the game follows the design of the GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions rather than the GTA Vice City rendition.

Fire Trucks in GTA III, GTA Vice City, GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories may also be numbered 1 to 6, or unnumbered.

=== GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars ===
In GTA IV, the [[MTL]] "V 24 Supercharged" Pumper serves as the [[Liberty City Fire Department|FDLC's]] standard firefighting apparatus, equipped with a high powered deck-mounted water cannon. Every fire truck in GTA IV is numbered [[69]].
The Fire Truck can be found at fire stations, but is rarely seen driving around, even with a fire in the vicinity; they can, however, be summoned by dialing 911 and requesting the fire emergency service. Firemen are apparently not coded to put out fires at all, even when called to existing fires — the fireman complain about "another prank call", as they usually do upon being summoned, and depart.
If the player fires the Fire Truck's water cannon at any vehicle (excluding police), the driver will brake, and then either ram the truck, or get out and attempt to pull the player out of the truck. If the [[police]] see the player "attacking" cars or people with the water cannon, a one-star wanted level is given, and if the player hits the police cars with the hose, two wanted stars are given. The water cannon is apparently seen as a deadly weapon by the LCPD; using it against police and civilians is one of the fastest ways to gain a six-star wanted level.
The front of the Fire Truck resembles a [http://www.boisefiretrucks.com/Boise%20Fire%20Pierce%20Dash%20Training%20E7-2.JPG Pierce Dash], while the cab and rear resemble [http://used-fire-apparatus.com/fire_trucks_for_sale/Used_Pumpers_$50K-$100K_Photos/1990%20Seagrave.jpg some Seagrave models].

==Firefighter side-mission==
{{main|Firefighter}}
The '''Firefighter''' side mission can be toggled on or off from within a Fire Truck in all GTA games between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories, as well as GTA Chinatown Wars. The mission requires the player to find and extinguish burning vehicles within a time limit.
== Prominent appearances in missions ==
* In [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], the mission [[Fire Truck Fun!]] requires the player to mount a firetruck with a [[Flamethrower|flamethrower]] in order to kill a few [[Rednecks]].
* The ladder variant of the Fire Truck in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]] is prominently featured during the second half of the mission "[[End of the Line]]", during which it is bulletproof, fireproof, explosion-proof and even damage-proof (much like the [[Feltzer]] pursuing the Fire Truck); it also has heavy handling, but loses its special properties when the player fails to catch [[Sweet]] after he clings on to its ladder and falls. In the mission, the fire truck is used by an NPC. During the mission, the special ladder Fire Truck is apparently unobtainable and locked, although it is possible to drive close enough to the vehicle and attempt to hijack it.
* In the [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|GTA Liberty City Stories]] mission "[[Karmageddon]]", the player is required to drive a Fire Truck causing as much havoc as possible then destroy the Fire Truck. After the mission the [[Karmageddon (side mission)|Karmageddon]] side-mission is available by hoping inside the left Fire Truck at the [[Belleville Park]] Station, [[Staunton Island]].
* In the [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|GTA Vice City Stories]] mission, "[[Hose the Hoes]]" the player is required to steal a Firetruck and save girls from a burning building using the water cannon to extinguish the flames.
* In the [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]] mission "[[Rigged to Blow (GTA IV)|Rigged to Blow]]", a Fire Truck will respond to the explosion and arrive at the scene of disaster, this is the only time the [[Liberty City Fire Department|FDLC]] respond to a fire in GTA IV.
*In [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], a [[Club Management]] mission requires the player to get a Fire Truck from [[Northwood]] and scare off the paparazzi from [[Maisonette 9]].
* In [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] many Fire Trucks can be seen in the mission [[Dropping In...]], while [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis]] has landed with the parachute on the truck at the end of the mission, several Fire Trucks can be seen driving away.
* In the [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]] mission [[Jackin' Chan]], the player is required to steal a firetruck and use it to extinguish burning vehicles in order to save Chan from kidnappers.
==Locations==
In every game (excluding the [[PlayStation]] version of GTA 1, and all versions of GTA IV), starting a fire will see the fire department send a Fire Truck to put it out.
The Fire Truck also spawns predominantly at fire stations, including:
'''GTA III, GTA Advance and GTA Liberty City Stories'''
*Fire station in [[Harwood]], [[Portland]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]
*Fire station in [[Belleville Park]], [[Staunton Island]], Liberty City
*Fire station in [[Francis International Airport, Shoreside Vale|Francis International Airport]], [[Shoreside Vale]], Liberty City
*Often spawns at [[Fort Staunton]] after completing '[[Bringing the House Down]]' (GTA Liberty City Stories only)
'''GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories'''
*Fire station in [[Downtown Vice City|Downtown]], [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]]
*Fire station in [[Escobar International Airport]], Vice City (GTA Vice City Stories only)
'''GTA San Andreas'''
*[[Old Codger Antiques]] in [[Commerce]], [[Los Santos]]
*Fire station in [[Doherty]], [[San Fierro]] (When approached from the south, the ladder variant will spawn, and vice versa if approached from the north)
*Fire station between [[Redsands East]] and [[Redsands West]], [[Las Venturas]]
'''GTA IV'''
*Fire station at Hardtack Ave, [[Acter Industrial Park]], [[Alderney]].
*Fire station at Vitullo Ave, [[Berchem]], Alderney.
*Fire station at Exeter Ave, [[Northwood]], [[Algonquin]].
*Fire station at Privateer Rd, [[Fishmarket South]], Algonquin.
*Fire station at Bronco St, [[Northern Gardens]], [[Bohan]].
*Fire station at Dillon St, [[Rotterdam Hill]], [[Broker]].
*Fire station at [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]], [[Dukes]].
*A Fire Truck can be obtained after the mission [[Rigged to Blow (GTA IV)]], when one responds to the fire.
*They can also be obtained by dialing 911 and choosing the fire service by dialing 3.
== Trivia ==
* In GTA San Andreas, the Firetruck has a warning on the rear that reads "Stay 500 Feet Away".
* Despite the Fire Truck in GTA San Andreas having four doors, like any fire truck before GTA IV, only two doors are usable so only two can be seated.
* In GTA IV, when you press and hold the horn button when the sirens are on, the Fire Truck has a different horn (Same as the [[APC]]) instead of a fast wail like other emergency vehicles.

Esplanade North in San Fierro.Esplanade North location
Esplanade North is a district in San Fierro, San Andreas. It is situated on the northern end of the city, and is meant to emulate San Francisco's biggest tourist trap, Pier 39, also known as Fisherman's Wharf. In fact, there is a re-creation of the pedestrian-heavy Pier 39, known as Pier 69, one of the numerous in-game references to the "69" sexual position. West of the district is Battery Point, while to the far east is the Tierra Robada region. North of the district is San Fierro Bay, while to the south/southeast are the districts of Esplanade East, Calton Heights and Downtown.
People frequenting Esplanade North are very diverse, with many of them appearing to be tourists. The general atmosphere is one of capitalistic fervor and a sort of disdain for the area by the city's locals. Similar to Fisherman's Wharf, the occasional food retailer can be spotted in this area, as well as a mothballed submarine.
Events of GTA San Andreas
Carl "CJ" Johnson's arrival in San Fierro is met with an enormous amount of work for him to do in this new city. In addition to renovating the derelict garage he won in a street race with Claude and Catalina, Carl begins to establish himself as an entrepreneur in San Fierro by acquiring numerous properties and businesses throughout the city, including Wang Cars, a dealership in Downtown that he uses as a front for the new chop-shop in Doherty. But this is only the beginning of Carl's work in San Fierro. He has just been informed that the entity responsible for the events leading up to this point, the Loco Syndicate, is largely based in this new city, with its leaders close by. Attempting to infiltrate the syndicate, Carl begins working for the syndicate's concierge, a pimp, Jizzy B., who resides in the Pleasure Domes Club under the Gant Bridge in Battery Point. After working for Jizzy and gaining his trust, Carl meets another head of the Loco Syndicate, "T-Bone" Mendez. After he and Mendez locate and rescue a kidnapped Michael "Mike" Toreno, the one pulling all the strings, the pieces begin falling into place.
Apart from this, Carl befriends his countryside acquaintance Wu Zi "Woozie" Mu by meeting him at his apartment in the city's Chinatown, where he finds out that Woozie is the leader of the local Triad gang. Beginning to work for Woozie in order to help him, he also meets Woozie's senior leader, Ran Fa "Farlie" Li and his translator, Su Xi "Suzi" Mu, during a visit. Farlie and Suzi request Woozie to retrieve a package hidden in a car parked at the city's international airport, and Carl offers his services to act as a decoy against the gang's sworn rivals in town, the Da Nang Boys, who attempt an ambush. Carl saves the package from serious damage and takes it safely to a pier garage in the district.
Carl begins his take-down of the Loco Syndicate by paying Jizzy an unexpected visit at the Pleasure Domes Club, after which he is forced to chase Jizzy when he runs out the front door and drives away in panic. After killing Jizzy, Cesar informs Carl of a meeting taking place at Pier 69 in Esplanade North. Carl heads out there to find Mendez about to meet Carl's old associate from Grove Street, Lance "Ryder" Wilson, as well as with Toreno. After blowing his cover, Carl is then forced to chase down Mendez and Ryder on the pier's pedestrian mall. After shooting Mendez off the side of the guard rail, and into San Fierro Bay, Carl then has to swim through part of the bay to a boat in order to chase down Ryder, who had jumped into the bay in an attempt to escape. After killing Ryder, Carl locates and shoots down the chopper that was presumably carrying Toreno to the meeting, ending the Loco Syndicate.
