How to unlock the Furious First Responder achievement in Grand Theft Auto III – The Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

Quoting a response, I received from GTAmissions1 regarding this achievement:

For Furious First Responder, here are the requirements that unlocked the achievement:

Ambulance: Level 12 consecutively in one go.
Police: 20 criminals on each island. You will be notified saying "police bribe delivered to your hideout" on your 10th and 20th criminal
Fire: Put out 20 fires on each island.

There is no way to keep track of how many fires you put out on each island. Especially with the algorithm determining where the next call spawns. For me, Shoreside Vale was a struggle because of how you could be told "fire reported in Wichita Gardens" and be in Francis International Airport and getting only 20 seconds or one minute. Of course, that wouldn't work.

Police and fire, you can take a break from responding to the service calls. It doesn't have to be done consecutively. As long as the cumulative total is 20 for each island, it will unlock the achievement.

NOTE: There are separate achievements for doing 15 consecutive fire and police calls in one go.

Is it confirmed that we need to catch 20 criminals per island?

Yup, Vigilante isn't considered complete until you've caught 20 criminals on each island.

All Missions in the Same Savegame ? If yes, count it when I go „illegale“ to the 2nd an 3rd Island ?

If you mean using glitches to access the 2nd and 3rd islands early before you unlock them, I'm pretty sure it still counts.

There is a way to track it, in stats you can see criminals killed on vigilante and total fires extinguished, I’m still on the first island and it says 24 crims and 16 fires. 4 more fires and that’s island one. Obviously not as easy if you are already on the next island and have an amount showing but just a tip if you were to start again.

Correct. It does not have to be consecutive. Same goes with the fire missions.

CTHazard, yes. You need 6 police bribes in total. You earn 1 bribe for every 10 criminals killed in Vigilante mode, with 2 bribes earned in each island. I wait until I get to Sunshine Vale and get the Rhino before I start Vigilante. It's much easier that way. FYI, if you are about to get busted, end the mission and restart the autosave. It'll clear out the wanted level and keep your progress.

No. Once the gangs become hostile, there is no turning back. This is why it is advised to do them at the beginning of the game and the start of every new island. To avoid the hostile areas and struggling to certain vehicle side missions, rampages, stunt jumps or hidden packages.

The fire missions on Shoreside Vale is a total pain because the game never gives you enough time because the island it too spread out. I found a great place to do this after a little trial and error.
If you look on the map where your safe house is, there is a street that runs north and south adjacent to the water that is east of your safe house. It's not too long and if you park the fire truck at either end and start the mission most times it will send you to the opposite end of the street for the fire.
This is a really fast way to do this part.
If it sends you to a different part of the map simply restart the mission.
If you have done the other 2 islands already you will know you have finished this when you get the notification that a flame thrower has been delivered to your safe house . If not, just check progress in the stats menu.
I did all these at the start of the game to make this way easier, but you can most likely still do it like this later in the game.
Also there is a fire station is at the airport.

Just a solution for those that are bugged, like I was.

I had triple-checked and everything was completed:
  • Paramedic: 12 levels complete. I had unlimited sprint and the stats page said 12 levels.
  • Vigilante: 20 per island. I had all 6 bribes at the safe house.
  • Firefighter: 20 per island. I had the flamethrower at the safe house.
The fix:
Return to the second island (Staunton Island) and complete another Vigilante. Unlocked for me after one more.

Credit goes to the OP here who had the same issue on PS.

To get this trophy, it is not enough to get 3 trophies (lvl 12 for a medic, 15 kills for a policeman and put out 15 fires at a time)
To get the trophy, you must complete 20 firefighter tasks and 20 policeman tasks on each of the 3 islands. For a medic, it is enough to simply complete 12 levels at a time on any of the islands. (Better at the very beginning in Portland)

As stated above, you need to complete 20 firefighter and police missions on each island. But the missions are cumulative, and can be completed more than once. It is best to pass the ambulance on the first island when the other two are closed.

In fireman and policeman missions, if the object is far away, you can cancel the mission and start again until the object appears somewhere nearby. This will reduce the overall travel time,

On the 3rd island, the fireman mission is best done on the road to the left of the buildings in the form of pluses. There, burning cars appear at two ends of the road and you don’t have to travel far. The main thing is to always turn your back to the burning car before extinguishing it, and after extinguishing it, start driving in the opposite direction. If this is not done, then the burning car will spawn in another place and you will have to drive along the serpentine road, wasting time. It took me only 5 minutes to make 20 fires using this method.

You must complete 20 police missions on each of the 3 islands, 20 firefighter missions on each of the 3 islands, and 12 medic missions on any of the islands. Moreover, the police and firefighter missions are cumulative, but the medic missions need to be completed in one go.
