and a few more from the Laughlin area. If you're not familiar, Laughlin and Bullhead City are on opposite sides of the Colorado River, with the state line running down the middle of the river...
Fort Mohave Mesa, a department south of Bullhead City, was covering from Laughlin's main station...
and a couple more photos of Bullhead City FD Engines...

the next morning, an elderly driver drove his car through the front door of the Edgewater casino across the street from mine. I was able to get some rig photos, and a couple of long distance shots as casino security was limiting access (especially if they saw a camera)...

When we got to our hotel/casino in Laughlin, as I was going back to the car after registering I heard sirens. Clark County Engine 76 and Rescue 76 (non-transport ambulance) and AMR pulled in...

When we left Vegas to head to Laughlin we got stuck in traffic due to a collision. Henderson FD was nice enough to drive past on their way...

2 weeks ago I took a short trip to the Las Vegas valley and Laughlin. While I was there I was able to get a few photos to add to my albums..
First, North Las Vegas FD Engine 50, Engine 52 and Truck 52

and last, when we got to the main station, LVFD's 1964 Seagrave Aniversary Midmount Aerial was out back...

For some reason, some people put a lot of weight on "In house Training" like drills. As a volunteer fire captain, I dont see how we can. It simply isnt the same as state training lead by a certified state fire instructor.
To me, training is two parts; State Fire Training, than supplement with station drills taught by competent officers and assisted by trained experienced firefighters. Some departments have no clue how a drill should be, Ive seen departments say that a control burn is a drill yet they only stood around and watched it to make sure it didnt spread. Thats not a drill, maybe for the pump operator who had to secure a water source and charge a line but not for interior firefighters. Than there is the departments who sit around the station all night BS'ing and doing nothing but getting away from the home front for a while, than they sign a drill sheet that SAYS they did a drill of some sort for 3 hours...how can a departments drill habbits be properly accounted for?? In the career sector there is no doubt, no questioning because its mandated and properly accounted for annually.
Thats why a lot of people are having a hard time seeing the training of volunteers as beeing sufficient...its not. Im a volunteer and I say its not. And to add to this this department isnt even a ligitimately operating fire department, they are not on anyones radar including OFPC as being listed in NY State as a fire department, so how do they get the insurance for their members?? If one of them gets hurt, are they covered?? They are not even dispatched at all by a 911 dispatch center?? There is too much that screams wrong here to me, they need to be investigated and someone needs to intervene here and put an end to this madness.
