state. there was 13 universities to choose from and we had to go find one. we had to spend out of state tuition and it was pretty expensive. it was just something that nevada needed with the amount of firefighters that are within the state. all that out of state tuition has going somewhere else. it should have been staying here. so put together a program and fortunately, the board of regents approved it this past june. >> this is great. it sounds l fill ago need. seems like there is a lot of chance for growth for this program as well, right? >> there is. in the fire service, back when i started, you didn't have to have degrees. maybe if you you wanted to be te fire chief, you had to have an associate's degree or masters degree. it depended on the department. but over -- since 1999, fire departments, especially here in las vegas, started requiring degrees to either be a captain,

officer. so you'd see that on your career path. i've been on two years and eight years, here is where i see myself. to be able to compete for that position, i have to go get an education. so we were all going out of state. so now we're here in state. so the numbers are really starting to grow. we anticipate our bachelor's program, the numbers to get much higher. we've got 17 in our first class. >> great. >> that's just with word of mouth. we'll start nationally. there is only 14 programs in the country. >> no kidding. wow. >> that's so cool! >> it's phenomenal. >> this is exciting because now instead of going out of state, you'll have people coming in state potentially. >> correct. >> and then perhaps, hey, you want to be a firefighter, we could use some help. let's talk about the dallass for csn. they started on monday. is it too early to get started? is it sorry, you'll have to wait

we started classes on monday. so parking lots are full and classes are full and you have 'til sunday, september 4, to register for late registration. >> so you can still get in? >> yep. there is also shorter classes during the semester that start later in the fall. you can still sign up for. >> awesome. >> what if some people aren't able to register now? is there a chance to join in later than the fall? >> absolutely. the spring semester, later on. but you can still register for the fall right now 'til september 4. fall. just really exciting thing, things happening at csn. >> csn, it's the biggest as far as enrollment. so many people that go to csn. it's so flexible for people to say i don't have the time or i have weird hours. there are so many degrees and programs to choose from at csn. how many are there now? >> we have about 71 programs and we also do hospitality and

the fire program is so exciting. i did an explorer program in high school. and everybody was looking for the upper hand. for us to have this here at csn, on our campus and state is huge. how important is our fire department? it's huge. >> exciting, the program. can i try the hat on? >> oh, boy. >> you bet. >> shawn, you began be jealous? okay. not only can people enroll right now or people looking for financial aid. is there any available. >> the awards have been given out for fall and spring. that's working. >> knock on that, buddy. yeah. >> that's pretty solid. >> are there any women in the program? >> there are. quite a few. >> yes! >> we have females instructing also. >> really?

trail. maybe you want to make sure there is drinking fountains or benches. where can you take your pets. all of those types amenities are searchable within the app. so you can really customize the trails to fit your needs. >> i have to say also very importantly, i feel like it's easy to use this app. right? and once you find that trail that is the one you want to go on, you just hit directions and it takes you right to it. >> for the ones you love the most, you can bookmark them so you can keep going back so you remember, what's that one trail we went out of the 782 trails? oh, that one. you can go back to it. so there is other apps that the southern nevada health district has as well. you guys are like the app store. >> i know. >> first of all, our apps are free to the community. so we have nutrition apps. one is healthy recipe called snap cooking app. the other is called sugar savvy beverage. it let's you know how much sugar is in the beverages you're

you've seen it before, forms that come in the mail about uninsured and/or underinsured motorist coverage. what exactly is that and do you really need it? hint, you do. take the question marks away. lloyd baker is here with the answers we need. great havin >> thank you. >> underinsured, uninsured, motorist coverage. >> most people have no idea what that is. >> it is life flood, then the valley. what is it? >> well, it helps protect you when somebody is not insured. and/or if they're underinsured. the problem in nevada is we only have $15,000 as the minimum. other states have higher policies. here, 15,000 doesn't cover anything. so if you're hurt, you go to the hospital, you're done.

>> exactly. >> so this protects everybody in your family and your vehicle. so critical, critical to have it. i tell all my clients to get it. i tell everybody i know to get it. when i worked for insurance companies, i told them to get it. it's cheap, too. super cheap. >> you're saving maybe 10, $20 tops. >> yeah. >> maybe even less than that when it's split over the terms of the month. >> if you look at it as okay, i'm protecting my family, how much insurance do you want to have? there is a lot of people r around with a million. >> wow. >> a million dollars u.m. coverage. so at least 500. very, very least, 100. because you get any kind of a surgery or anything, and you're done. that money is gone. >> is it particularly important in the valley? i've heard -- i don't know if it's truthful, that there is a lot of uninsured or underinsured people in nevada. is that the case, more than other places? >> absolutely. >> wow.

countries that don't have much, sometimes don't have any. the minimal on a rental car is only 15. so if you get hit by somebody driving a rental car from somewhere else, the only coverage is 15,000. so you just as well have it. it protects everybody. the cool thing about u.m. coverage. m. is for uninsured motorist coverage. u.i.m. is for underinsured motorist coverage. that stuff stacks. so everybody in your household that h on to your coverage. so let's say you're very injured. you have $250,000 surgery. the guy has 15,000 that hit you. you have 100 u.m., you're at 115 now. anybody in your household, i've stacked grandmas, i've stacked brothers and sisters. i've stacked people that are just renting from each other. anybody in that household that has u.m. coverage stacks on top of that.

because of u.m. coverage is stacked. >> wow. >> so if you're injured, you definitely need this kind of coverage. >> this is why it's great to have you here 'cause you're not just an attorney. before this you were working for the insurance companies. >> i was. >> so you know the ins and outs of this. you know how the system is if i neagleed and how you can use it to your best advantage. >> absolutely. it's sad that so many people don't understand that. i ran into attorneys that didn't know that. >> wow. >> i've really established firm. had a death case, had no idea they were telling them is this is all the coverage there is. they came to us, we got them 200,000 more in u.m. coverage. >> wow (that was a grandson and a daughter in the same household and we stacked their coverage. >> my goodness. the system is almost confusing on purpose perhaps. so being able to clear up the haziness and try to figure out

we sent him here to fix it. but congressman joe heck became part of the problem. wall street invested over a half-million dollars in congressman heck's campaigns, and heck supports their agenda -- privatizing social security, handing wall street billions in fees, but risking our retirement in the stock market,

congressman heck -- what's wrong with washington.
