I may be aging myself, but there used to be 400 series engines for Brush fires. Are they still around?

FYI When station 32 got built, 31 closed in the downtown area near the railroad tracks . Also some of the equipment from 55's and 18's got moved to 32's

Any new stations on the horizon? Herd some years ago Las Vegas wanted to annex the Kyle Canyon area. Kinda wondering where the growth is?

Any decent manufacture will only build to NFPA without mound of paperwork releasing them from liability. If the engine has a issue fitting, they will re-engineer to meet the requirement for 360degree warning specified. The new squads for the rural side are also set up with no light bar per se,

typical Ladder truck is running a cool million, most custom pumpers are 600k

Yeah back then, in the 80's, CCFD had agreements at Mountain springs, and Mesquite back when it was still a county station. We also worked out of Pahrump fire and Cold creek before there was ever a station there. We opened Red Rock much later and stations in Vegas, The Springs, Caliente, Pahrump, Mesquite and a helibase at NLV airport

I went to that camp as a Boy Scout. It would e a shame to develop it , but the bigger issue is water. Im not really sure where they are going to get it. I worked a summer at Mountain Springs Station when BLM partnered with CCFD and we ran calls with the volunteers on our off time. We built the bunk room and worked on the kitchen. Checked out the apparatus for the volunteers. Still have one of the old blue helmets !

how many homes are slated for Mountain Springs ?

Part Paid Part Volunteer at Moapa Valley Fire, I'm pretty sure

Stations 72, 73 and 74 are now a independent fire district and no longer part of CCFD. Also there is talk about Laughlin forming its own fire dept

Part of this has to do with Excess Blackhawks coming onto the market from the Army The last Hueys left the Army for civilian life about 2 years ago, the Army kept them in the inventory as long as there were parts in the bin, once parts we not available at the Army they would not spend money to service them, and they were excessed out. There were a handful of them for test centers because the Blackhaws had not been adopted for that use yet. the first gen Blackhaws are going to Excess Property now. My understanding is all the Blackhawks for Ventura, Santa Barbra, and San Diego Counties were all Excess property Army birds. LACoFD bought new s70s The Excess army birds likely had high hours and were just about gutted and rebuilt, but that would still be cheaper than what LA County is doing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Blackhawks still are not type certified for civilian use til they are converted to Firehawks The USMC is still heavily invested in the Huey, with UH-1Z as the current model.

Do the HFD stations have anything to do with the Raiders Practice complex?

cool

Where are the 6 new pumpers going? Any going to Yuma?

That was my info also...

Don't the 240 guys have their own units and are full time ?

Does one of the tribes help sponsor one of the copters? Will they help with Copter 3?

Who is building the Squads and patrols? I noticed the squad service bodies are wider than before, they extend past the back duallies
