Posted January 29, 2017 Are the Rural stations getting hand-me-downs from the urban stations or is there new equipment being purchased? I have seen newer squads in the interweb, was just curious about engines.... Also are the old militarys gone?. Long time ago, Mountain Springs Engine 73 was a 1000 mutifuler on a old 6x6 with a dodger 318 powering the pump Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 29, 2017 also: new water tender: in 2007 below: also several new squads I believe that as funds are available, they have tried to upgrade the vol stations while still replacing the main career fleet 75 Int/West-Mark 3000 Gall “07 Searchlight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 30, 2017 Correct, however, a CCFD Capt told me that they did receive a couple of new squads recently I think that one is at 18, have not seen it on the road as yet I also think that the Mt Charleston Station received a new engine a few years ago: 81 Int 1500 GPM "15 Mahogany Dr & Yellow Pine,SR 157 Mt.Charleston Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
