Eureka Fire Station 63

Eureka Fire Station is managed by the Battle Mountain District Office and is 140 miles southeast of district office in Battle Mountain. Eureka Station is located right on Highway 50 just west of the historic town of Eureka, NV. The Eureka station resources are supervised by a Fire Operations Supervisor (FOS) based out of Eureka. Eureka station houses two Type 4 Heavy Fire Engines with a crew of 4 on each and a Type 6 Engine with a crew of 3. Station 63 dispatching is coordinated through the Desert Basin Interagency Dispatch Center in Winnemucca, Nevada. The station also provides support for the Eureka SEAT Base, located at the Eureka Airport. They work closely with the Local Volunteer Fire Departments and Nevada Department of Forestry resources in Lander, Eureka, and Nye Counties. The Eureka fire response area is extremely large and contains a variety of fuel types. Wildland fire crews could find themselves working in the valleys with grass/shrub lands or over-looking those valleys atop the vertical mountains with a Pinyon Pine/Juniper woodland forest.
