THIS PAST FRIDAY I WAS OUT TAKING PICTURES AND STOPPED BY CLARK COUNTY STATION 24. I HAD THE OPPROTUNITY TO GET SOME PICTURES OF HAZMAT 24 AND ENGINE 24. BOTH UNITS AT ONE TIME WERE PART OF THE COUNTIES HAZMAT AKA CBRNE TEAM. THAT IS UNTIL POLITICS CAME INTO PLAY. THE FIREFIGHTER THAT I TALKED WITH AT STATION 24 IS ONE OF THE ENGINEERS OF ENGINE 24 AND EVEN THOUGH THE COUNTY HAZMAT TEAM IS MOTHBALLED THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIFT AND HIMSELF STILL KEEP THEIR CERTIFICATION IN HAZMAT UP. AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE.
EVEN THOUGH THE COMPANY NO LONGER PROVIDES HAZMAT AKA CBRNE SERVICES TO THE COUNTY THE RIG IS STILL MARKED AS CBRNE.
THE RIG HAS EQUIPMENT THAT REGISTERS ANY KIND OF HAZMAT IN THE AREA THAT THEY ARE RESPONDING TO AND THE COMPARTMENT DOORS ON THE UNIT ARE MADE SO THAT THEY SEAL ALONG WITH THE CAB DOORS. THE RIG IS LONGER THAN MOST OF THE UNITS IN THE DEPARTMENT. THE ENGINEER TOLD ME THAT ENGINE 24 AND OTHERS THAT WERE PART OF THE HAZMAT TEAM ARE AS LONG AS THE RIGS THAT ARE TRUCK COMPANIES IN THE DEPARTMENT AND AS WIDE AS THEY ARE.
