I have been playing the SimCity series since the original, and I have always been curious as to whether the llama references are random or have some special meaning?

SimCity Fire Department
Established ...6. Fireman - When your house is on fire, you can always call the trusty fireman for help. If you have the fire alarm installed in the room that is burning, he'll come automatically. If not, you can call him by phone but it takes more time for him to come that way. 

SimCity Police Department
Established ...
7. Police Woman - In charge of the neighborhood's welfare, there are a few "rules" you must remember. Be careful having your parties late at night. The policewoman will come and charge you $$$ for parties 11:00PM and beyond. But she'll warn you first. Also, having a burglar alarm around the house is an advantage since it automatically calls the police whenever a burglar robs your house. If your burglar is caught, you'll be given $$$$$ to compensate for the stolen items. For Livin' Large : the police will come if you use the chemistry set while having 2 or less logic points and she'll complain about the stench of the chemicals. Again, she'll fine you ($500 this time).
