They Got Lucky This Time

Makes me wonder what the out cry would be if someone died.
From the LVRJ: Pungent smoke filled Draven Avila’s lungs, waking him before dawn Tuesday.
What he saw next, flames consuming the top of his double-wide trailer home, sparked the 16-year-old into action.
The teen ran out the front door, hopped a porch and ran to a back window. He used his right arm to shatter the glass.
As a bleeding Draven picked glass shards from the window frame, his 17-year-old brother, Diego Avila, helped their 14-year-old autistic brother, Geovanny, out of bed. Draven and Diego then carried their youngest sibling out of the burning double-wide — at 3325 N. Nellis Blvd., near Cheyenne Avenue — through the broken window.
“I did what I had to do,” Draven said Tuesday afternoon at the Carefree Manufactured Home Community. He was at a home a few streets over from where his own place was now just rubble and ash.
The Clark County Fire Department said the blaze occurred about 4 a.m. The cause of the fire, which resulted in about $30,000 in damages, was still under investigation Tuesday afternoon.
Firefighters from Clark County, Las Vegas and North Las Vegas, 30 personnel in all, responded to the fire and were able to keep flames from spreading to other homes.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/crime-courts/quick-acting-brothers-save-autistic-sibling-burning-trailer
The closest Clark County fire station is just past Lamb and Alexander and the 2nd in company is on Judson, east of Christy LN.  These stations are at least 5 or minutes or more away from the fire.
The closest North Las Vegas station is about a mile west of the I-15, about 10 minutes away.
But for some reason, the fire department across the street from the fire was not used.  And that is the Nellis AFB Fire Department.  At 4 AM, it's not like there were a bunch of airplanes flying around and they also 2-3 fire stations, so they could have repositioned their fire trucks in case something did happen on the base.
Not only do they have fire trucks to put out airplane fires, they also have fire trucks to put out structure fires, like house fires.

This family got lucky, maybe the next family won't be as lucky.
