The fire station near U.S. 95 and Jones Boulevard shut down after Las Vegas Fire and Rescue built a brand new and updated facility about a half mile away. The new facility took over calls for the area and according to LVFR firefighters, the response time was always within the target range. 

However, the neighborhoods grew quickly. Since the time the station shut down, the firefighters there have seen a 30% increase in calls to the area. That's why the fire department decided to open the station back up, potentially cutting response times in half.
