Firefighters from North Lyon Fire and deputies from the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office will be
competing in a Battle of the Badges fundraiser at the Black Bear Diner from 4-9 p.m. on
Wednesday, August 13.
The fundraiser will be similar to the fire department’s annual takeover of the Black Bear Diner
for the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation, where firefighters and deputies will be
serving dinner and all tips will go to the family of Brandy Haas, who was diagnosed with triple
negative breast cancer in 2021.
The firefighters held a Stuff the Boot fundraiser on the 4th of July, where Fire Chief Brian Bunn
said they had raised $3,600 by the end of the parade. There is also a GoFundMe account and
donations can also be made through the fire department.
Haas is the sister of North Lyon firefighter Josh Chandler. She had undergone chemotherapy,
multiple surgeries and ongoing treatments and posted on social media that she is hoping to try an
intensive integrative treatment center in Scottsdale, AZ.
