Clark County Commissioner Justin Jones and Clark County Fire Chief Billy Samuels invite the community to a free open house celebration at Fire Station 35 on Friday, May 23, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. The event will showcase the fire station located at 10350 W. Flamingo Road, just west of S. Hualapai Way.

“This is a great opportunity for residents to meet their local firefighters and learn more about the vital services they provide to our community,” said Commissioner Jones, whose district F includes Station 35 and much of the Southwest Valley.

Attendees at this family-friendly event will have the opportunity to tour the station, explore a fire engine and all the tools on board, and even experience first-hand spraying water from a firehose. There will also be free food and refreshments, ice cream, face painting, balloon artists, music, and more. The event will conclude with firefighters using the “jaws of life” to demonstrate how responders extricate victims from damaged vehicles.

“We're happy to partner with Commissioner Jones to open up the fire station and welcome members of the community we serve,” said Clark County Fire Chief Billy Samuels. "This is the perfect opportunity to learn more about what it’s like to be a firefighter.”

The open house is free and open to all members of the public and media. For more information about this event, contact Commissioner Jones' office at 702-455-3596 or visit clarkcountynv.gov.
