The Fire Operations Support & Logistics Division plays an indispensable role in supporting the mission of the North Las Vegas Fire Department. This division is responsible for the planning, procurement, distribution, and maintenance of the essential life safety equipment and supplies our department relies on every day. From the gear worn by firefighters to the apparatus they operate, Fire Logistics Officers manage nearly every resource our personnel need to protect lives and property.


These dedicated professionals lead the charge in vehicle design and specification, ensuring that each unit is tailored to the operational demands of the field. They maintain deep expertise in emerging trends and technologies in fire science, applying that knowledge to enhance efficiency, safety, and readiness across the department. Their work directly supports both frontline responders and administrative teams, helping to uphold our commitment to rapid, effective emergency response.


A key responsibility of the Fire Logistics Division is ensuring the department’s safety equipment remains compliant with Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards. Annual testing and inspections are conducted both on and off apparatus to guarantee our personnel are equipped with reliable, high-performing tools in the field. These evaluations include:


  • Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) & N95 Mask Testing

  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Inspections

  • Ground and Aerial Ladder Testing & Inspections

  • Fire Hose and Apparatus Pump Testing

  • SCBA Air Pack Flow Testing

  • Coordination of Fire Apparatus Maintenance & Repair

  • Coordination of Fire Facilities Maintenance & Repair

  • Management of our Fire Logistics Cadet program for young men and women with aspirations of becoming Professional Firefighters 


Through their diligence and expertise, the Fire Logistics Division ensures the North Las Vegas Fire Department is always prepared to serve the community with professionalism, safety, and excellence.

The Fire Department Logistics Warehouse serves as the central hub for the procurement, storage, maintenance, and distribution of essential life safety firefighting equipment, EMS, and operational supplies to ensure that all stations and field units remain fully equipped and mission-ready.

The Logistics Warehouse is staffed by two Fire Logistics Officers who oversee support of daily operations, strategic supply management, and the management of all fire and EMS related equipment and consumables to ensure operational readiness, patient care standards and fiscal responsibility; and eight Fire Logistics Cadets who support inventory control, equipment preparation, deliveries, and station supply restocking, the warehouse serves as a critical hub in sustaining the department’s emergency response capabilities and operational readiness.

This team works collaboratively to track supply levels, perform quality checks, coordinate repairs or replacements, and rapidly deploy needed resources during major incidents, ensuring the department operates with maximum efficiency and readiness.
