75 firefighters work to put out North Las Vegas fire

( Las Vegas Review-Journal).
About 75 firemens from North Las Vegas, Las Vegas and Clark County fire departments collaborated to snuff out a structure fire that burned from Friday night to Saturday early morning at an unoccupied apartment complex in North Las Vegas, a county fire representative stated.

The first call about the fire, situated at North 5th Street and East Rome Boulevard, came at 10:30 p.m. Approximately 20 systems from the three fire agencies responded, according to Assistant Clark County Fire Chief Scott Carnahan.

The firefighters tore down the blaze at the four-story structure north of East Centennial Parkway at 2:58 a.m., but 2 units from North Las Vegas remained on scene to splash what was left into late Saturday afternoon, Carnahan said.

" They're attempting to get to the hot spots," he said.

No firemens or civilians were reported hurt. North Las Vegas fire authorities are managing the investigation into how it began, according to Carnahan.
