“As the members of PVFA IAFF Local 4068, we are declaring a state of emergency within Pahrump Valley Fire Rescue and no confidence in Fire Chief Scott Lewis for the second time. PVFA IAFF Local 4068 respectfully requests a letter of resignation from Fire Chief Scott Lewis or for the Town & County Manager and Board of County Commissioners to remove him from his position immediately,” Firefighters wrote in their second VONC letter to the Pahrump Town/County Manager and Nye County BOCC #safety #pahrump #nevada #fd #ems
“PVFA IAFF Local 4068 takes pride in the quality of Fire and EMS services that we provide for the residents of Pahrump. To provide these vital services safely and effectively to the Town of Pahrump, administrative changes must occur,” Firefighters wrote in their second VONC letter to the Town/County Manager and BOCC #safety #pahrump
“As the Town of Pahrump begins the process of searching for the next Fire Chief to lead and manage Pahrump Valley Fire Rescue, we urge the Town & County Manager and Board of County Commissioners to search for meaningful candidates such as: Battalion Chiefs, Division Chiefs, Deputy Chiefs, Assistant Chiefs and Fire Chiefs from the Las Vegas and Reno areas,” written in the Firefighters 2nd VONC letter #safety #pahrump
Will there be a hiring process. How soon will it be advertised?
“Despite our best efforts over the past decade to exhaust all options, excluding legal action, we have been unable to correct the ongoing issues affecting public safety, firefighter safety, the treatment of firefighters and poor morale in Pahrump Valley Fire Rescue. It will be no easy task to restore the fire department from its current condition and reputation. The next Fire Chief must rebrand Pahrump Valley Fire Rescue to ensure its survival," via Firefighters 2nd VONC letter #pahrump #safety
Melissa Powell recognize the house?
Did we get rid of the current air head yet?

The safety of the citizens we serve and our members is always at the forefront of our thoughts and actions and once again we invite the political leaders of Nye County to step forward and help us in our goals for a better and safer County and Fire Department.
