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.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of retired Nevada National Security Site Fire & Rescue Engineer Kenneth “Kenny” Fehringer.
Kenny passed away peacefully at home at the age of 88. He served with the Nevada Test Site Fire Department from March 1984 until his retirement in July 1999. Before coming to Nevada, Kenny spent many years with the Buffalo Fire Department in New York, where he was recognized numerous times for his lifesaving actions and dedication to the citizens he served.
Those who worked with Kenny knew him as a dedicated firefighter, a dependable coworker, and a good friend. He spent his career serving others and made a lasting impression on the people fortunate enough to know him.
A Celebration of Life is planned for July 10th at the Italian American Club. Additional details will be shared as they become available. In keeping with fire service tradition, we will honor Kenny with a Bell Ceremony and the playing of the pipes at the Italian American Club.
To help Kenny’s family plan for the dinner following the service, we ask that anyone planning to attend please RSVP once the final details are posted so we can provide an accurate head count.
Please keep Kenny’s family and friends in your thoughts during this difficult time.
Rest easy, Brother. Thank you for your years of service to the fire service and the communities you protected. You will not be forgotten. ... See MoreSee Less

Today, we bid a final farewell to retired Assistant Fire Chief Joe Hogan.
Chief Hogan was widely respected as a firefighter, leader, mentor, and friend. Before joining NTTR Fire & Rescue, he honorably served our nation in Vietnam as a firefighter and rescue crew member aboard the HH-43 helicopter. His distinguished service earned numerous medals and commendations, and he was recognized as one of the most decorated enlisted members stationed at Nellis Air Force Base.
Chief Hogan continued his commitment to service with NTTR Fire & Rescue from 1978 to 1994, ultimately retiring as Assistant Fire Chief. During his tenure, he supported critical missions throughout a period of intense Cold War secrecy, contributing to operations known to few beyond the installation. Like many of his generation, he performed his duties with humility and professionalism, seeking no recognition beyond the importance of the mission itself. The sacrifices of those who served during that era were often unseen, yet their contributions were essential to our nation’s defense.
As a member of the Cold War generation of firefighters, military personnel, and public servants, Chief Hogan served under demanding conditions and with little public acknowledgment. His lifelong dedication to public service and the protection of our nation’s interests stands as a lasting legacy.
We are grateful for Chief Hogan’s service to our country and his unwavering dedication to the fire service.
Rest in peace, Chief.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Hogan family.
Never forgotten. ... See MoreSee Less
