A huge THANK YOU to our brothers over at Reno Firefighters Association for allowing us to jump in on training opportunities at a structure they acquired!

From topside ventilation tactics and cutting up garage doors to utilizing their firefighter confidence course, every opportunity to train alongside them is beneficial.

Thanks again, Reno! We appreciate you!

Sparks Fire responded to a reported vehicle fire that quickly escalated when crews discovered a CNG trash truck venting and sending flames toward multiple structures. The first-arriving Captain immediately upgraded the response, and crews quickly knocked down the fire before it could spread to multiple units. Great work by responding crews in preventing a much larger incident. Special thanks to an off-duty Reno firefighter who captured great photos and secured a water supply for crews.

Yesterday at approximately 5 p.m., Sparks crews were dispatched to reports of multiple structures and vehicles on fire.

Crews arrived on scene and worked for hours to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading further to nearby homes and vehicles.

With the hot, dry conditions we’ve experienced, we have seen multiple fires burning over the past two weeks. If you see a fire near you, call 911 immediately and move away from the area as quickly as possible.
This helps keep you safe and allows emergency crews the space they need to safely respond and do their job.

Please stay alert, stay safe, and help us protect our community.
