The equipment includes state-owned structure and brush engines and a county-owned brush rescue pumper. The Nevada Division of Forestry removed the two engines because they need repairs, said NDF Northern Region Forester Tom Turk. The division is evaluating the small brush rescue pumper for re-assignment, he said.
Equipment is assigned based upon criteria such as the number of fires, values at risk and trained membership to use the equipment, Turk said.
The volunteer firefighters still have a fire protection engine titled to both Elko County and the district, and a heavy brush truck for wildland urban interface fire protection, Turk said.
