To all the members of the Nevada State Firefighter Association, it is with a heavy heart I inform you that we have lost a true American hero today. Past President Sgt. Ben Jenkins was gunned down in the line of duty this morning during an attempt to assist a motorist. Some of you may have known him as a volunteer firefighter, director, president and Past President of our board, but he was also a state trooper with the Nevada Highway Patrol, as well as a veteran of our armed forces, he was a true public servant.
Ben was involved in the great outdoors and enjoyed helping handicapped individuals by taking them on hunting trips among other activities. He really loved and was passionate about his hunting, fishing, boating, camping and
spending time with friends and friends.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, children, grandchildren & family during this unimaginable time.
You will be in our thoughts and part of our story forever Ben.
Rest In Peace my friend
Mark Flesher
President
Nevada State Firefighters Association
Please be assured we did not make this decision lightly, as you may have seen the Governor of Nevada released a statement yesterday limiting gatherings and closing all Casinos in Nevada. In this unprecedented time, we have a responsibility to keep our members, Board and their family safe. We will, of course, continue to keep you informed and updated as we receive more information. We appreciate your patience. In the meantime, if you have any questions please contact us using our online contact form.
All applications for Scholarship, Instructor of the Year, EMS Instructor of the Year, and Department of the Year Application will still be accepted.
Please remember that all applications shall be received no later than April 15th.
