Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - Las Vegas and Clark County firefighters responded to the Greenville Park Apartments, 3821 Silver Dollar Avenue (near Valley View and Sahara) just before midnight Sunday, after several people called to report an apartment on fire.
When firefighters arrived, flames and smoke was showing from a first floor apartment in building 42. The apartment is one of eight in the two story wood frame building. Firefighters had the fire under control in less than ten minutes and were able to keep the fire from spreading to the other apartments.
The fire appears to have started in the bedroom in the apartment, with that room gutted. The rest of the unit had heavy smoke and heat damage. The apartment above had slight damage. Damage was estimated at $50,000.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
The American Red Cross is assisting three adults who live in the apartment above the apartment where the fire occurred.
