For the third time in three days the Clark County and City of Las Vegas responded to multiple alarm fires. The one on Friday went to 3 alarms and the one on Saturday went to 2 alarms and they were both at local recycling plants. I did not make either of these fires being as they were in areas of town that can be hard to get to.
But today with in the space of an hour there were three fires, one in North Las Vegas that came in while I was photographing Las Vegas Fire And Rescue Station 9 (Engine 9 received one of the new Smeals and I was able to a couple of it rolling out of the Station to this fire.) The second was in the County off of Sahara and Maryland Parkway. I was on my way to that one watching the column of thick black smoke, but it dissipated fairly quickly and while I was waiting at a stop light I checked and they were already releasing companies. At this point the third fire came in and I headed for it. I checked and it had been upgraded to a 2nd Alarm.
I could see some smoke but not the volume that I was expecting and by the time I arrived and parked the bulk of the fire had been knocked down. I was able to get a couple of good photos of the members on the roof of the building opening up with smoke showing.
The first shows the crew of Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Truck 8 on the roof. One of the members can be seen laying on the roof checking for fire in the Attic and some smoke coming out of the hole they had just cut.
I submitted this photo and three others to the Las Vegas Review Journal and they picked up three out of four of the photos. I did not get paid for them but at least they were published on the Online Edition of the paper.
