History

The department began in 1906 as a volunteer department. In August 1942, the department added its first full-time employees, a chief and 12 firefighters.
In 1999, a city ordinance changed the name of the department from Las Vegas Fire Department to Las Vegas Fire & Rescue.
In early 2013, the department dismissed 12 firefighter recruits after an investigation found irregularities during a hazardous materials examination at the training academy. The dismissals occurred one day before graduation and were later characterized by city officials and the Nevada Employee-Management Relations Board as the most serious cheating incident in the department’s history.
Investigators concluded that one recruit admitted to exchanging answers and that the remaining recruits engaged in related misconduct. All were probationary employees at the time. The recruits appealed their termination to the EMRB, alleging violations of the collective bargaining agreement with the International Association of Fire Fighters, Local 1285. In December 2014, the EMRB ruled that probationary recruits were at-will employees not entitled to union protections and upheld the city’s actions.
The ruling did not require reinstatement or back pay, nor repayment of training costs estimated at $719,000. Following the incident, the city dismissed the training officer involved and implemented additional examination oversight measures, including the use of outside proctors.
