  1. It was definitely Heavy Rescue 21. It was out of service for a few years but was reactivated three years ago or so.
  2. My info is pretty heavily dated (20+ years), but I did volunteer out there as an EMT so it is first hand. I never responded further than Callville to the North and Hoover Dam to the South. Station 4 (Boulder Beach): Engine 4 (Cross Staffed by LE Rangers) Rescue 4 (Staffed by volunteers. Responded to the entire Nevada side of Lake if staffed. Cross Staffed by LE Rangers after hours or if no volunteers. I think has paid staffing now. Not sure if Contractors or Park employees) Station 5 (Callville Bay) Engine 5 (Cross Staffed by LE Rangers) Rescue 5 (Cross Staffed by LE Rangers) Station 6 (Willow Beach) Engine 6 (Cross Staffed by LE Rangers) I think had an Ambulance.....but not sure. I think now the wildland crews are also now responding to calls if in the district.
  3. I don't know if it is a coincidence or not, but the only Urban Squads I have seen have been at Stations with a second rescue. Squad 32 is in service and active. They wanted to put a second Rescue @ 32 but did not have the space. Hence the "Squad" with a short body. These 2 pictured at Fire Trucks Unlimited (I am almost positive the bodies on these 2 "new" units are the bodies from those previously mentioned light rescues), the pictures show them numbered for 18 and 27. Both of those stations currently run 2 Rescues. Maybe the plan is to replace the second rescue with these? County fire does not transport much. It would be a weird coincidence. Unless they are adding a "3rd Rescue" and going this route at those stations. And....COVID may slow down some of these plans. Even with the Strip reopened, Squad 32 and Rescue 218, and Rescue 227 appear to be out of service with at lease some regularity. Checking Pulse Point as I type, None of those have run any calls since 1100 (1530 right now).
  4. Pretty sure this is X Mercy Ambulance/AMR Las Vegas. Lighting setup/vehicle type is exact for what was being used at the end of the Mercy Ambulance days and beginning of AMR taking over.
  5. Retired last year. Replaced with a 2019 Pierce Quantum 1500/750.... It was traded in. I’m not sure where it may now be....
  6. Not a staffed station. Only Mercy Air 11 is stationed here.
  7. Crud....I really meant 91 in Inspirada.
  8. None that I know of. I am however a little removed from the Vegas Valley (Mesquite). Last new Station I am aware of is 99 in Henderson.
  9. I believe this rig is now with Mt. Charleston Fire Protection District which split off from CCFD when this rig was being delivered. My guess is this was ordered white, knowing it was going to Mt Charleston who was splitting off. It is E-853 I believe. I think they have gone "All In" on yellow even on staff vehicles. Everyone I have seen in the last 6 months or so is yellow....including some unmarked. BC's are definitely yellow. A2 (Assistant Chief over the Rural area) is definitely yellow. 270 (EMS Supervisor) is definitely yellow. And I have seen some other vehicles I can't identify in news stories that were yellow. https://mcfpdnv.org/about-mcfpd/photo-gallery/ https://www.imgrumweb.com/post/Bq0fRG5DRMS
  10. Humbolt General Hospital handles EMS as well as tech rescue in Humbolt County. I believe all of the fire departments up in that area are volunteer. I really don't know much else........
  11. My only slight addition to this is that Rescue 13 is now also called Squad 13.
  12. So....I just saw one of these Tillers Northbound I-15.....in Arizona just outside of Mesquite, NV. Only 1 of them and did not have company markings. Definitely 1 of the Pierces.
  13. Link to the picture of Squad 32...... http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/index.php?showtopic=21868&p=559369
  14. There are definitely exceptions based on area needs (I think the Mt Charleston rig is 4x4 with height issues in the Station). No urban 4x4 engines). I have seen a picture of a rig marked as Squad 32. However its more of an LA County Style Paramedic Squad than what has classically been a squad in Clark County (Type 6 wildland rig). I don't remember where I saw the picture...but it was likely here or FIrepics.net. Appeared they replaced R-232 with the Squad as a peak time unit.....but that is mostly guessing and I have no idea if there are others (ie Squad 18). If I find the pic....I'll link it.
  15. Clark County Stations 72(Moapa), 73(Logandale), and 74(Overton) are in whats called the Moapa Valley Fire District. They are still "Managed" via Clark County Fire, but vehicles are purchased via the Fire District. That is why they are essentially the only volunteer stations with new rigs. Otherwise most everything is hand me downs. Squads can be an exception cause there aren't any in the Career CCFD stations to hand down, as well as the Tenders, since there is only 1 CCFD career Tender. Whereas I believe every CCFD Volunteer Station has at least a Squad and most have Tenders. They just aren't purchased often due to not significant wear and tear at the volunteer stations, so some can be on the old side.
  16. This happened awhile ago...probably close to a year. They swapped CBRNE 8 and Truck 3 (Now CBRNE 3 and Truck 8). GIves them better truck coverage on the East side of town and the CBRNE is now stationed with the Haz Mat team.
  17. County fire has ordering the short rigs for looks like all stations for a couple of years, starting with E-32. No County career stations that I am aware of are of is length or height restricted. I think the old station 20 may have been...but that would have been it. 32 being short wheelbase works out good for the Strip...I'm guessing they just want all the rigs the same.
  18. Clark County T16 is also a 75' straight stick quint...similar to T22 (T16 Got a new truck in the last year or so) http://www.capitalcityfirephotos.com/OutsidePennsylvaniaApparatus/Nevada-Apparatus/i-wWMfWrC
  19. Clark County T16 is also a 75' straight stick.
  20. The rigs are very real....I know that for a fact. The story and NFPA requirement are not. Call the Cops is a satirical website. The more outrageous the better.....and it's not even April Fools Day.
  21. The "Call the Cops" website doesn't do real "news." That story is made up....
  22. My guess for the quint was T-16. They are currently in an older Ferrara 75' quint. Quite possibly the only non Pierce frontline unit in the County's Las Vegas Valley Fleet. Although your guess sounds pretty logical as well......
  23. I'm John. I've been a in EMS for about 19 years and am currently with Mesquite NV Fire Rescue. I mostly troll around but do occasionally put my $0.02 when I feel I have something valuable. Welcome Back!
