It's exhausting to watch Jack Bauer save the world one hour at a time on the popular TV series "24". How could anyone cram that much drama and so many subplots into a mere 60 minutes?

Nothing like that really happens. Or does it?

Here is a real-life, real-time 60 minutes look into the lives of Pahrump's first responders.

These events occurred Jan. 23 and were handled by the Nye County Sheriff's Office (NCSO), Nye County Animal Control, Nye County Search and Rescue, Pahrump Valley Fire-Rescue Service (PVF-RS) and Nevada Highway Patrol.

Rollover

4:04 p.m., The police scanner next to Pahrump Valley Times Photo Editor Horace Langford Jr.'s desk broadcasts an urgent call from the NCSO dispatcher. "Rollover accident with person hanging out of the side of the vehicle."

4:08 p.m., Langford calls reporter Gina B. Good and tells her: "I'm headed out to a one-vehicle rollover accident on Bell Vista near Ash Meadows. It sounds bad. They called Becht to the scene."

Good: "Do you need me?"

"Not yet; I'll call."

"OK, I'll monitor my scanner."

4:09 p.m., PVF-RS Rescue Engines 4 and 15 respond with Medic 2 Ambulance.

NCSO to Dispatch: "We need traffic control out here. We're over the crest of a hill. People need to be aware before they get here."

4:11 p.m., NCSO to Dispatch: "There's no cell service out here. I need Capt. Becht. Position your car at the crest of this little hill so motorists don't come over this hill and crash into the emergency units."

4:14 p.m., The first PVF-RS emergency vehicle arrives. The driver of the smashed Jeep SUV is Nye County Sheriff's Office Investigator, Mike McGrath. His dog was also in the vehicle. Nye County Animal Control is called to the scene.
