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.

Rest easy, John. Thank you for everything you gave to this profession. You will be missed, but you will never be forgotten.
Please keep John’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers as they go through this difficult time. ... See MoreSee Less

Please keep John Osborn and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
John is fighting, and if you’ve ever had the privilege of working with him, learning from him, or simply calling him a friend, now is the time to let him know what he means to you.
John has been a mentor, preceptor, and a legend in Las Vegas EMS. He set the standard for EMTs and paramedics throughout the Las Vegas Valley. As a street supervisor, he was the calm voice in the chaos, a fierce advocate for his patients, and someone who always looked out for his crews.
His family has opened visitation today from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM at Mountain View Hospital, Room 108. If you are able, please consider stopping by to see him and support his family during this incredibly difficult time.
John has spent a lifetime taking care of others. Let’s surround him with the same love, respect, and support that he has shown so many of us.
Keep fighting, John. We’re all pulling for you. ❤️My Dad. My best friend. Please fight. I can’t lose you. All of us can’t lose you. I am opening up visitations today from 10am-8pm please at Mountain View RM. 108. Please please come. He loves you all. ... See MoreSee Less

Last night, family, friends, and our brothers and sisters of the fire service came together to celebrate the life of Engineer Kenny Fehringer.
It was an evening filled with stories, laughter, tears, and memories that reflected the incredible man Kenny was. While he will be deeply missed, his friendship, dedication, and legacy will continue to live on in all of us.
A special thank you to Israel Wilkinson for the beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Mike Flammini and Chris Hersh for the moving Last Alarm bell ceremony, a fitting tribute to a firefighter who dedicated his life to serving others.
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped honor Kenny’s life. Rest easy, Brother. We’ll take it from here. ... See MoreSee Less
