Clark County Fire District 6 wishes to inform the community of an individual posing as a firefighter conducting “fire inspections”.

Last night near midnight a man reportedly entered a Hazel Dell area senior citizen assisted living center wearing a shirt witnesses say appeared similar to a T-shirt belonging to Clark County Fire District 6.

Witnesses claim the man said he was a firefighter and wanted access to perform a fire inspection, however employees felt the man was an imposter due to the fact that he arrived in the middle of the night.

Deputies from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office were called, but the imposter left by the time the authorities arrived.

Residents need to know that Clark County Fire District 6 would never send an individual to do fire inspections in the first place, as that is the function of the Fire Marshal’s office. And all Fire District employees carry identification confirming their employment with the Fire District.

Anyone with suspicions about an individual posing as a firefighter should call 9-1-1.
