Duty Honor Commitment
The NNSS F&R Benevolent Association supports several charities, organizations and events. These organizations support burn survivors, the fight against cancer, school supply drives, toy drives and various other needs which arise annually. We mentor school aged children by providing school visits to discuss careers in the Fire Service. The members of the NNSS F&R BA also volunteer during Fire Prevention Month. We visit multiple schools and teach Fire Prevention and what to do in case of an emergency. Giving back to our community and volunteering to assist others is a large part of what we do.
Tradition and Service
The NNSS F&R BA Honor Guard is comprised of active members of NNSS F&R. Our Honor Guard Members work tirelessly to achieve the perfection required to honor the Fire Service. They work closely with other local Honor Guards to assist in funeral services for Line of Duty Death (LODD) for both Firefighters and Police Officers. These tragic events require a tremendous amount of personnel to support the family and agency who lost a member. The Honor Guard also attends several events such as 9/11 ceremonies, parades, Memorial Day events and many other events in honor of public service.

This weekend we celebrated the launch of Assistant Fire Chief Dan Crays’s retirement from NNSS F&R. After nearly 40 years of firefighting he and his family have more than earned this next step in their lives. We will miss his sense of humor and the dedication he brought to the fire service. Throughout the years he was always there for anyone who needed help both on and off duty.
We wish him and his family the best in this new chapter in life! You will be missed brother!
Special thanks goes out to La Madre Canyon Grill for hosting Dan’s retirement. The accommodations, service and food were amazing. ... See MoreSee Less

Please share and donate if possible. Rest in peace sir.It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Andrew Anderson—a devoted husband, proud combat veteran of the United States Air Force, dedicated firefighter, and loving father who was taken from us far too soon.
Andrew spent his life in service to others, first in the military and then as a firefighter protecting his community. He was known for his kindness, strong work ethic, and the deep love he had for his wife Stephanie and their three young children: Hazel (8), Emma (3), and Miles (1). He was the sole provider for his family, and his absence has left an unimaginable void.
Stephanie now faces not only devastating grief but also the sudden financial burden of raising their children alone. Funds are needed for funeral costs, daily living expenses, and ongoing care for the kids.
If you’re able, please consider donating to support this family through this difficult time. Every contribution helps, no matter the size. If you can’t give, sharing this post means the world.
Let’s come together to honor Andrew by lifting up the family he loved so deeply. ❤️

We are asking our first responder family to come together in support of one of our own.
Shelly Cochran, a dedicated member of the EMS and fire service community, is currently critically ill and courageously battling leukemia. She is at Sunrise Hospital awaiting transfer to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston for advanced treatment.
Shelly’s service to others spans decades. She began her career in EMS in 1985 with Mercy Ambulance as an EMT-Intermediate, later serving as a Public Information Officer. More recently, she continued her commitment to the community as a volunteer firefighter and AEMT with Clark County Fire Department, and had just stepped into a new role as a recruiter for CCFD.
Those who know Shelly know her heart for service, her strength, and the impact she’s had on so many lives.
At this time, we are asking for prayers, positive thoughts, and messages of encouragement to help lift her spirits as she fights this battle. Support from this community means more than words can express.
Please keep Shelly and her family in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.
