“Pahrump Valley Fire and Rescue only has 4 front-line ambulances protecting the Town of Pahrump (if staffed and not broken down) and up to 2 of those ambulances are still being sent out on interfacility transports from Desert View Hospital to the Las Vegas area. This does not include any simultaneous auto or mutual aid assignments that we respond to in Fire and/or EMS apparatus. This creates an avoidable delay in response times, pending calls and preventable understaffing in the Town of Pahrump. We cannot effectively protect you, your loved one’s or your property under these current circumstances,” Local 4068 Firefighters wrote in their fourth open letter. #safety #pahrump #NyeCounty #Nevada

Did any of our supporters have the opportunity to watch or attend the Board of Nye County Commissioners meeting yesterday? What did you think about Fire Chief Scott Lewis’ presentation regarding the condition of the Pahrump Valley Fire and Rescue?
The Board of Nye County Commissioners entertained some good ideas, one of which was to consider hiring an Assistant Fire Chief for Pahrump Valley Fire and Rescue. Fire Chief Scott Lewis immediately rejected this idea, but Local 4068 Firefighters still encourage Town Management and the Board of Nye County Commissioners to enforce the implementation of an Assistant Fire Chief in Pahrump Valley Fire and Rescue which is very much needed.
Local 4068 firefighters will be sharing another detailed letter to the public in the coming days covering some of the important topics that were discussed and and others that were not. Thank you for your continued support! #safety #pahrump #NyeCounty #Nevada

PVFR currently staffs three (3) Fire Stations with eleven (11) firefighters and one (1) Captain. Although the local has made great strides in improving the safety of our Town and members in the past much more work is needed. We invite our elected officials and members of the public to help us achieve our goals of bringing our staffing up to the levels recommend by NFPA 1710 as well as numerous other industry and professional standards. Along with increasing our staffing, top goals for the union include reducing the span of control to a more reasonable level, increasing the training budget and the rehiring of the training and life safety positions. 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.
