[quote name='Ladder 68' post='151695' date='Sep 27 2007, 18:36 ']Any idea what happend to the Pierce Quantum 75' quint that N. Las Vegas had in their grey/white paint scheme? I think it was an '04 model and was assigned to T52. By your pictures it looks like it was replaced by the '94 Spartan/Smeal 75' quint that has bounced around.



Great photos and thanks.[/quote]





I believe the 75ft Pierce Quantum was moved to Truck 54

old Truck 54 55ft Pierce Quantum was moved to Engine 56

Engine 56 2004 Quantum was moved to Engine 53

Truck 52 is using the Spare Truck 252 untill their New 2008 Pierce Quantum Ladder Tower is

delivered in Feb



Also they have a

Engine 55 2005 Pierce Quantum

I recently viewed footage of the Pepcon rocket fuel fire and explosion on the History channel. (Clark County NV)

I noticed two responding vehicles, a yellow Ford C pumper with a fire fighter on the rear step, wearing a SCBA and a white Pumper, that looks like the Henderson Hahn/Superiour.

I wanted to know if any one knows if these reponding vehicles wer damaged, and if the white cincinatti cab pumper was the Hahn from Henderson.

I noticed the LVFD Water Tender for 43's has the same front bumper shop number, "1520", as another rig identified as WT-41. Was this rig assigned 41's 1st or 43's 1st?



Thanks.

Hi Larry, to be honest, I don't know! I remember that it was quite a quest to find the location of the tanker, so you may very well be right that it was moved from 43 to 41. I took the info from another roster I have. I didn't shoot the engine on the station, as they went out on a call. That would have made it easier to identify the current assignment.



And for anyone liking big squads, here's Las Vegas Special Operations Truck (CBRNE), at station 8, a Pierce Quantum Chrome. I think it's a 2006 model.

Thanks Lauren, I was just curious.



Another one for you, there is 1 heavy Rescue Co. in the LVFD correct? Is it at Station #1 or Station #44 as I have seen it photographed and identified as being assigned at each?



Thanks.

Las Vegas has only one Heavy Rescue and as far as I can remember has always been at 44.



They also only have 1 Water Tender. They do sometimes have water issues on the outskirts. I think it is currently at 43. It was at one time WT 41

[Guest]

Hi Larry,



I think mesquite5010 is right about the assignments. Last trip to Vegas I haven't been to Station 1 and 2, but when I visited a couple of years ago, the LVFD Heavy Rescue was at 44s.



Last year I was hoping to photograph Clark County's Truck 18, a Pierce Dash tower. Unfortunately it was OOS, instead I got this nice shot of an E\-One reserve, I think this is former T17.

Does anyone have the numbers on Clark County E\-One reserve truck?

[karl4700]

I just returned form a trip to las Vegas making trips to about 12 of the stations. According to the guys there, Heavy Rescue 44 will be getting their now rig in a few months. It is going to a few trade shows before it's delivered (maybe FDIC). In addition, all the engines are going to be replaced based on the contract w/ Pierce for a 7 year replacement plan. I can only assume this will take place over a year or two.



It was no easy task to get all the rigs at station 1 in house at the same time. I made an attempt there 4 times and was only able to get E201 and R301.
