Clark County Fire Station 18

A few things..not sure why you don't answer the phone on the weekend. A Fire Departsment should focus on service and less on efficiency that slows service communication. There's an issue with the escalator that runs between the linq and Harrah's casinos. It's inside and towards the back. I attached a video. It appears that Caesars has now turned it off but someone should make sure that the problem is corrected correctly. I would expect it to be an expensive repair. You will see in the video that the left handrail has visible damage. It was hot to the touch this morning when I rode it. The motor for the handrail was intermittently stopping about every five seconds with an audible alarm when it stopped. After your phone went unanswered I did call 311 and they told me no smoke or fire no response. The abnormally hot handrail was something the fire department would not respond to. This is why big commercial fires happen. The linq and Harrah's were built a long time ago. Please figure out a way to check this out.

Ive never met such lazy, women-hating fire fighters in my life. I was at the rebel station of flamingo and paradise and the fire fighters from this station stopped by to put gas here at the rebel and they saw a girl whose car wouldnt crank, these measly firefighters couldn't help a girl when her car was disabled. They just stopd and watched her try to fix her car, while they chuckled in the background. I had a flat tire and luckily my car got to this fire station, I knocked on the door at the fire station to help me. And no one answered the door.and why do firemen look like they don't wanna be there, they always look so angry and dowdy and their entitlement boggles me. Id rather deal with cops.

Wonderful group of people that work here. My little one is fascinated with fire trucks so it made her day that she was able to see one up close. Very caring and gentle firefighters. Thank you for all you do.

Clark County, City of Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas Fire Departments are the best in the country!!!! I've been lucky enough to be involved in the fire service, and what I see with these departments are second to none. The City of Las Vegas Fire/Rescue holds an ISO rating of 1, the best there is, I don't know the number, but I believe only 8-10 career fire departments are rated level/class 1. Clark County was rated level 1 for years, BUT, the county I guess didn't think it was worth it and chopped large chunks out of there coverage. No more Heavy Rescue that responded to over 1000 calls per year, no more Haz-Mat company, no more Truck Company 76 in Laughlin, and other cuts I think had to do with being given a lower ISO rating. It's still hard to believe there's no Heavy Rescue with all the casinos, hotels, Interstates, new construction all over, and that just covers a small section of the County. It's also very tough to think that Laughlin is only covered by 2 Engines, and 1 Rescue!!!!! No Ladder Truck with all those hotels, let alone the houses and apartments. When I first heard that cut was made, I wasn't to sure what to think, but after spending the last 2 Christmas holidays in Laughlin, it makes no sense at all. Way to much can go wrong without the proper equipment. I'm very aware of the mutual aid agreement from Bullhead City Arizona Fire Department, they respond a ladder truck if needed for building fires, regardless how close they are, or how willing they are to respond, there city comes first, responding out of state isn't there priority. Next time you stay in Laughlin, take a look at the size and age of just the hotels your looking at or staying in and tell me how you'd feel if a ladder truck isn't responding because of budget cuts......not a good feeling at all. My comments in no way reflect against Clark County Fire Department, or any department in that respect, it's against the County Commissioners that cut items before they actually know what's cooking. Or, do they really care? It's not on the strip, so get rid of the expense. Pathetic. Here's another thing, the Jean Station is covered 24/7, but no fire truck, just a rescue!!!! That's cool, most are medical responses anyway, but, why not at the very least a Quick Attack unit? It can carry all the same medical equipment, extrication tools, but also can have a 300-500 gallon tank, and a 1000 GPM pump??? If a car fire, gras fire, even a small building fire, a mini pumper/quick attack would be a great unit in that station instead of just a rescue? I'm,surprised that hasn't been brought up or taken into consideration. I'm just thinking of a car fire video I had seen from last summer, a car had caught fire between Jean and Primm, westbound on I-15. 911 was called, and the video started. 32 minutes later Engine 65 was on scene. That is just way to long for a fire engine to respond!!!! Could you imagine a structure fire at the Primm Outlets? A Quick attack would be there in 5-6 minutes, and probably have a quick knockdown prior to Station 65 arriving!!! Just some thought!!! I love you guys and gals, one of the best departments in the world.....Keep up the great work. 2nd to NONE

Being an ex firefighter, and my brother is a fire fighter I highly respect what you do from training all the way to responding. Being a firefighter is not a job. Its a life

Called twice same day and same firemen came out. They were very helpful and kind. Thank you all

Such a great group of firefighters. Love being able to photograph them! It’s been a pleasure

Definitely 5 stars! Thanks for helping keep Vegas safe and sane!
