Storey County Fire District cleared to buy adjacent property and finalize firefighter coverage MOU
Summary
The board authorized purchase of property adjacent to Fire Station 72 for up to $135,000 and approved an MOU moving firefighter dependent insurance coverage from 80% to 100% effective July 1, 2026.
Storey County commissioners approved two Fire District actions on June 16: authorization to open escrow and complete title searches to purchase property adjacent to Fire Station 72 (2998 Cartwright Road, APN 003-361-08) at a total cost not to exceed $135,000, and a memorandum of understanding with the Storey County Firefighters Association Local 4227 to increase dependent insurance coverage from 80% to 100% effective July 1, 2026.
Fire Chief Bob Ryser explained that the district had negotiated terms with the School District and sought commissioner approval to proceed with escrow and title work. The purchase motion and the MOU each passed 2–0. The property purchase is intended to expand Fire Station capacity or support operations; the MOU was described as a bridge to the completed union contract.
