This week at Fire Station 1 we said goodbye to a truly exceptional leader, mentor, and friend.
Chief Rich Flanagan, your dedication, integrity, and leadership have left a lasting mark on every one of us at Local 4068. You didn't just lead, you built a family.
You've helped so many firefighters over the years grow through the training and classes you've put on in Pahrump and throughout Nye County, and while it's hard to see you go, we're excited for the next chapter in your fire service journey.
Your next job will be gaining not just a Fire Chief, but a remarkable person who leads with a big heart and purpose. Wishing you nothing but success, fulfillment, and continued impact in your new role. Once part of our fire service family, always part of it.
Stay safe, Chief Rich Flanagan, you'll always have a home here in Pahrump.

Snow is the vote I need on the board to break the corrupt Nye County political machine. This is why there's another destroyed Snow sign. It's of course possible that the "wind" was so strong it blew a boot 500 miles per hour at the corner of the sign to leave a print. I remember when I was running, the wind was so strong it took a can of spray paint and was able to lift a can of spray paint, then the wind pressed down on the button and moved the can to write obscenities on the front of my sign. Amazing what wind can do during political season.

Vehicle versus structure Highway 160 and Mesquite Avenue. This is the Living Free Cafe. The truck was unoccupied and hit a support pilar in front of the business. No injuries reported at this time. There may also be another vehicle that was struck. Witnesses say an RV was hauling a truck which came disconnected and struck the pillar. 📸 Lucid Reigns
