Creech Air Force Base Fire Department

== Area Served==
Creech Air Force Base, the former Indian Springs Army Airfield, Indian Springs Air Force Base and Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field, is a United States Air Force (USAF) command and control facility located adjacent to the town of Indian Springs and approximately 45 miles northwest of the City of Las Vegas along US-95 in northwestern Clark County, southern Nevada. Creech is home to the Air Force's remotely piloted aircraft systems which fly missions across the globe. It is also the aerial training site for the USAF Air Demonstration Squadron Thunderbirds and is one of two emergency divert airfields for the Nevada Test and Training Range. The base is named in honor of retired US Air Force General Wilbur Lyman "Bill" Creech (March 30, 1927 – August 26, 2003), the former commanding officer of Tactical Air Command (TAC) from 1978 to 1984, the predecessor command of the current Air Combat Command (ACC).
==Department Profile==
Aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF), structure firefighting, emergency medical services, fire prevention and inspection for Creech AFB is provided by the 432nd Support Squadron / Creech Air Force Base Fire Department, a mix of civilian firefighters and military personnel, a subordinate unit of the 432nd Mission Support Group.
==History==
Creech AFB arose from a small training site erected in the aftermath of the brutal December 7, 1941, aerial attack on Pearl Harbor, an event that thrust America and the newly organized US Army Air Forces into World War II.  First envisioned as a simple sub-post “tent city” military training camp, by March 1942 three graded-earth landing strips with taxiways were in place with additional plans to construct more permanent facilities that included an auxiliary landing field for the parent Las Vegas Army Air Field.  In the following seven decades the installation’s roles and missions focused on a sudden call to duty — preparing Airmen for combat and other roles in service to the nation. In January 2019 Creech Air Force Base was split off from Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, which has controlled the airfield since 1961. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2019/02/11/creech-and-nellis-are-splitting-up-heres-why/
