EMS & Fire Department CAD Guide for FiveM

EMS and Fire departments have unique CAD needs. You're not running plates or checking warrants - you're managing medical calls, tracking patients, and coordinating multi-unit responses to structure fires. This guide covers everything EMS and Fire personnel need to know about using CAD systems effectively in FiveM roleplay.

Key Differences from Police CAD

Medical Priority Levels

Code 3 (life-threatening), Code 2 (urgent), Code 1 (routine transport). Triage is critical.

Patient Tracking

Document patient names, vitals, treatment provided, and transport destination.

Apparatus Management

Track engines, ladders, ambulances, and specialized units differently than patrol cars.

Multi-Agency Coordination

Fire and EMS often respond together. CAD must handle joint operations smoothly.

Medical Call Management

EMS calls require different information than police calls. Document medical complaints, patient status, and transport decisions.

Fire Department Operations

Incident Command

First-arriving officer establishes command. Track command transfers as higher ranks arrive.

Resource Tracking

Know which engines, ladders, and specialty units are assigned to each incident.

Mutual Aid

Request additional resources from neighboring departments when needed.
