⛰️ Heading to Mount Charleston soon?
Don’t let the drop in temperature catch you off guard! 🍂

While the valley might still feel mild, temperatures up on the mountain are dropping fast, with chilly winds and brisk conditions rolling in.

Before you head up the mountain for a hike, a scenic drive, or a weekend getaway, make sure you’re fully prepared:

🧥Bundle Up in Layers: Pack heavy jackets, beanies, gloves, and thermal layers. Mountain weather can shift dramatically from the base to the peak!

🌤️Check the Forecast: Always check the updated Spring Mountains weather report before leaving.

⛽️Stay Fueled & Hydrated: Bring plenty of water and snacks to keep your energy up.

🔋Charge Your Phone: Batteries drain faster in cold weather, and service can be spotty.

Tag a friend you’re planning your next mountain trip with and stay safe out there! 🌲❄️

“It was my dream job.” Captain Damien Gusmerotti retires after 20+ years on the mountain.

In 2001, during his first season as a seasonal firefighter, Damien wrote in a notebook with a list of the full-time jobs he hoped to land one day. Mount Charleston was number one.
More than two decades later, that dream job became a legacy.

“It’s been a privilege and an honor, and I wouldn’t have wanted to do it anywhere else.”

Thank you, Captain Gusmerotti, for your service to Mount Charleston Fire and Rescue and the community you’ve protected week in and week out. Your dedication has shaped this department and this mountain. You will be missed.

Join us in wishing him a happy and well-earned retirement! 👏 Damien Gusmerotti

🚨 Throwback Thursday 🚨

Looking back on a recent REMS assignment in Washington, where our REMS Rapid Extraction Module Support Team provided rescue support alongside the Backbone.

Our team included Steve Clement, Jason Connell, and Joe Belavich, with Aiden Hurley from Las Vegas Fire & Rescue rounding out the four-person team.

The crew safely returned home on September 3 after completing the assignment. We’re proud of our members for answering the call and representing our community with professionalism and dedication. 🤝🔥

Today, we remember September 11, 2001, and the lives forever changed that day. We honor those we lost, the families who carry their memory, and the courage of the first responders and everyday heroes who stepped forward when others needed them most.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸🕊️
