It is my pleasure to represent all of the outstanding members who proudly serve the City of Nevada in the Nevada Fire Department. I invite you to also visit all of the City of Nevada Website to find out more about what makes this a vibrant, progressive and safe community to the 8,327 people who call Nevada home. We constantly strive to maintain our city services to ensure a high quality of life for the citizens of Nevada.
The Nevada Fire Department web pages are intended to be informative as well as entertaining.
