Clark County official: one fire engine remains out of service as repair costs remain unclear
Summary
Court members were told Engine Two is out of service after an electrical problem; the chief said repair costs could range from minor to major and the county is delaying work pending cost details.
A Clark County official said at the May 13 Fiscal Court meeting that one of the county's fire engines (Engine Two) remains out of service because of an electrical problem and that repair costs are not yet known.
When a member asked about the status of the truck, the chief confirmed the engine is down and said the electrical issue "could be minor, could be major," and that the department is holding off on repairs until they understand the scope and cost. Staff said beginning diagnostic work requires committing to some expenses.
The exchange underscored uncertainty about immediate repair costs and the potential budget impact. No motion to fund an immediate repair was recorded in the public portion of the meeting; the matter was described as pending further examination and an apparent budget review.
Next steps recorded in the meeting: staff will follow up with more detailed cost information to present to the court.
