Naval Air Station Fallon Fire Department

==About==
Naval Air Station Fallon or NAS Fallon, formerly Naval Auxiliary Air Station Fallon, is a United States Navy airfield located approximately seven miles southeast of the City of Fallon and 63 miles east of the City of Reno in the high desert of Churchill County, Western Nevada. Since 1996, it has been home to the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor (SFTI) program, more popularly known as Top Gun, taking over from the former NAS Miramar in Southern California, which housed the program from March 3, 1969 until June, 1996. Fallon is also home to the Naval Aviation Warfighting Development Center (NAWDC), to which Top Gun is assigned, the Carrier Airborne Early Warning Weapons School (CAEWWS), the Navy Rotary Wing Weapons School (RWWS) and Navy SEAL Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) training. NAS Fallon's airfield is named Van Voorhis Field in honor of Lieutenant Commander Bruce Avery Van Voorhis (January 29, 1908 – July 6, 1943), a United States Navy aviator who was shot down in the Pacific theater during World War II, and who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions that day. The surrounding area of Fallon contains 240,000 acres of bombing and electronic warfare ranges. 
==Area Served ==
Aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF), structure and wildland firefighting, emergency medical services, hazmat services, technical rescue, fire prevention and inspection for NAS Fallon is provided by Navy Region Southeast Fire & Emergency services / NAS Fallon Fire Department (Federal Fire Fallon), comprised of 45 civilian career firefighters working out of two fire stations.
===Mutual Aid===
NAS Fallon has a mutual aid agreement with the nearby Fallon/Churchill Fire Department and with the Bureau of Land Management / BLM Carson City District with the latter dispatched from the Sierra Front Interagency Dispatch center located in Minden, Nevada.
==History==
The airfield at NAS Fallon was originally built in 1942 as part of a defensive network to repel a feared Japanese invasion of the west coast. It was soon taken over by the Navy for training use and has been used as such ever since with the exception of the period of 1946 to 1951, during which it was used by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
