Washoe County is accusing Reno of “infantile” retribution in wake of fire divorce.
Even as the city of Reno and Washoe County take tentative steps toward a new regionalized fire service, they can’t seem to stop arguing over the acrimonious failure of the last one.
In court documents filed this week, the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District accused the city of “infantile” retribution when the two agencies parted ways in 2012, claiming firefighters destroyed and failed to maintain Truckee Meadows-owned equipment and that the city refused to pay its share of the final costs for running the joint department.
