North Las Vegas Fire Department Engine 50

 

I stopped by to take a couple of pictures of the Station and as I was they were coming back from a Call. The guys in the rig waved at me and as I parked my car in the visitor lot the Captain came out and invited me into the station. Let me tell you this was a great group of guys. They gave me a tour of the station and let me take all the pictures I wanted of the rigs. I talked with them for a while and they are semi slatted to get a new rig sometime this year, but they stated that it had not been "officially" decided. It is interesting that one of the members stated that the new rigs have the pull out trays for the crosslays and that they do not work right. He said they are on trays that slide out and tend to hang up when you pull them.

 

Engine 50 is a 2002 Pierce Quantum, 1500 GPM, with 750 Gallons. The guys took the time to point me in the direction of some of the other North Las Vegas Stations. The Station has been open about a year and they have a beautiful station.

 

I was tempted to ask them to pull the rigs out but chose not to.

 

Here is Engine 50 coming back as I was taking a picture of the Station.

 



 

Not the best pictures but I always feel uncomfortable asking the members to pull the rigs out.
