The Burning Question: How Many Firefighters Does it Take to Save Sin City?
Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps...well, except maybe for a quick refuel of pancakes at 3 am. But what about when things get a little too hot (and we're not talking about the desert sun)? Who are the heroes who answer the call when the flames start lickin' at the buffets? That's where our trusty fire departments come in, but how many are there to keep Vegas cool?

| How Many Fire Departments Are In Las Vegas |
The Usual Suspects: LVFRD and Clark County Fire Dept.
Las Vegas boasts two main fire departments:
- Las Vegas Fire & Rescue (LVFRD): These guys are the city's fire service A-team, with over 660 firefighters and paramedics ready to jump into action from their 22 fire stations. They're like the ninjas of firefighting, appearing out of nowhere to extinguish flames faster than you can say "all you can eat shrimp night."
- Clark County Fire Department (CCFD): For those venturing beyond the bright lights of the Strip, CCFD has your back (and your burning barbecue) covered. With a whopping 42 stations (that's 32 urban and 10 rural/volunteer!), they're the fire service cavalry, patrolling the vast expanse of Clark County.
So, that's two fire departments, right? Hold on to your hats, because it gets a little spicy...

We're talking about places like North Las Vegas, which has its own fire department ready to rumble. So, the exact number can be a little fuzzy, depending on how you define "Las Vegas."
But fear not, firefighting fans! Here's the gist:
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
- Las Vegas metropolitan area: At least 2, with LVFRD and Clark County Fire Department being the big dogs.
