LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — An air-conditioning outage has impacted a Southern Nevada U.S. Army Reserve facility since May, forcing personnel to relocate to cooler areas of the building or work from home as regional temperatures soared past 100 degrees, according to Army Reserve officials.
U.S. Army Reserve officials confirmed that the facility, located at 13825 Hinson St. in Sloan—about 20 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip—is experiencing a major air-conditioning equipment failure in certain sections of the building.
The issue began in May 2026 and progressively worsened over the summer as Southern Nevada experienced historic, triple-digit extreme heat.

“The unit has relocated personnel to offices within the facility that still have functional air-conditioning,” Army Reserve officials said in a statement. “When air-conditioned workspace is not available, personnel are authorized to telework.”
While the garrison headquarters overseeing facility maintenance has approved a work order to repair the cooling system, a timeline for completion remains unclear.
Officials said the selected contractor has not yet submitted an estimated completion date for the repairs.
“The U.S. Army Reserve remains committed to ensuring safe, healthy, and mission-ready work environments for all Soldiers and civilian personnel,” the agency said, adding that leadership is communicating directly with affected personnel regarding repair updates.
