Department Overview The Clark County Fire Department (CCFD) serves all unincorporated Clark County, at nearly 8,000 square miles, about the size of the state of New Jersey, on behalf of a population of 2.4 million. Clark County’s jurisdiction includes the internationally famous Las Vegas Strip, encompassing most of the world’s largest hotels, housing more than 151,000 hotel rooms. The Las Vegas Strip includes arenas, stadiums, showrooms, convention facilities, shopping venues, and dozens of major indoor and outdoor special events, attracting nearly 40 million tourists each year. The men and women of CCFD perform remarkably every day, under the most stressful and challenging circumstances. Each day, they face personal risk to their health and safety, and major events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the 1 October shooting of 2017 have taken a significant toll on being able to adequately retain, train, motivate, and sustain the health and well-being of our employees. CCFD supports 32 full-time fire stations as well as 10 volunteer fire stations. The 936 authorized positions and approximately 104 volunteers, support services such as Arson Investigations, Emergency Medical Services, Fire Prevention/Inspections, Fire Suppression/Operations, the Office of Emergency Management & Homeland Security, Airport Operations, Special Events, and internal services such as Fire Administration/Finance, Information Technology, Recruitment, Training, Logistics, Employee Assistance/Wellness, and Community Outreach/Public Relations/Media. CCFD personnel respond to over 150,000 incidents per year, including more than 120,000 medical incidents, and over 800 hazardous materials incidents. CCFD also oversees grant funding and administration of the Nevada Urban Search and Rescue Task Force (NVTF-1), one of only 28 FEMA- funded federal urban search and rescue task forces in the United States. The highly trained and experienced NVTF-1 responds to major disasters throughout Nevada and across the United States.
