Intresting bay layout. Is the single bay for the Medic unit? Do you have a photo of Fire House 1? I assume the 40's series was started becuse they met the limt of numbers allowed before Clark Countys numbers start.

Rick, the stations are set up w/ the single bay being the "resuce" (ambulance) and the fire co's are in the double bays. I did not shoot station 1 as its an afternoon shot w/ the sun and I was there in the morning.



As for the numbers, LV had 1-10 at one time and use Engine 10 as a 2nd engine at 1. Then Station 10 opened up in LV so they went to a 200 series for a 2nd piece such as Eng. 201 as 2nd engine out of station 1. Engine 203 2nd at station 3 etc. Station 1 even uses Resuce 301. Clark County(11-18, and 60's and 80's), North Las Vegas (50's) and Henderson (90's) all pick up w/ the number series. I think you can see a station list on the Clark County Fire website.



I may have some errors in my reporting here, but i'm close.
