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 !

A great station to photograph apparatus in the morning during brush season. I did not see any US Forestry apparatus at the station last brush season for the first time ever. Likely due to all the construction widening route 160. Clark County is becoming way too overdeveloped. Heard that they were going to get the water from somewhere in Sandy Valley. Crazy how the development seems to be endless with the cost of living starting to rise. Here is Mountain Springs station during brush season a few years back.

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

The quarters of the former Virgin Valley Volunteer Fire Department of Clark County. Located in Mesquite. this old house is now the Mesquite museum. I would imagine this was active prior to mesquite Fire Rescue being established.

Mesquite Fire Rescue of Clark County's 1995 Freightliner/Emergency One engine pulling out of the main station for photos. This apparatus was repainted to Red from yellow later in its career. Think this may now be in reserve status.

Retired last year. Replaced with a 2019 Pierce Quantum 1500/750....

It was traded in. I’m not sure where it may now be....

Pahrump Valley Fire-Rescue Service of Nye County station 5's quarters back in 2007. From the old 35mm archives. The Western Star/Interpipe Water Tender has since been retired. Believe the International Brush Truck is still in service.

Another old 35mm 2007 photo of Pahrump Valley Fire Rescue Service, Nye County station 2's quarters. This station is currently out of service. The "Green Machine" ARFF Unit is still stored at this station. The antique Federal/General Engine is now stored at the main station. The other two Engines were from the Nye County Emergency Service being stored at this station when this shot was taken.

Question about the LVFD. I have a few pics of some of Vegas' rigs from circa '98 to 2000, that I acquired, not my pics so I wont post them. At that time, they were running with white rigs with the painted dangling red dice for their unit numbers, when did they switch over to red apparatus?  Just curious. 

Thanks in advance.

LVFD was all red in the 60s-and 70s ,  by the 90 I believe they were running white and Gold.  then they went red.

The dice have been around as a part of the door logo since at least the 70s

They were Seagrave customers , then ALF, then Superior , then and now Pierce and most recently Sparten
