One person dies in fire at central Las Vegas apartment building
One person died and another is hospitalized after a fire broke out early Monday morning inside a central Las Vegas apartment. A fire alarm signal from 3930 University Center Drive called Clark County Fire Department crews to the building at approximately 5:35 a.m., Deputy Fire Chief Billy Samuels stated in a news release. After arriving at the 10-story residential high-rise, Samuels said crews starting climbing stairs to the fifth floor, where they found smoke and low heat. Forcing open the door to the apartment, fire crews "found limited visibility and moderate heat in a residential unit." After knocking down the fire, crews encountered one victim who was removed from the apartment unit and transferred to a medical unit, Samuels stated. That victim is said to have "succumbed to their injuries."

‘Seconds matter’: Henderson Fire Department uses new technology to respond to emergencies faster
Henderson’s Fire Department has implemented new technology to get to you faster. It’s called Safety Cloud. It sends a notification to drivers within about one mile of the department’s emergency vehicles when their lights are on. “We’ve all been there when all of a sudden there’s an emergency vehicle behind us and we didn’t hear them,” the Department’s Division Chief of Logistics Richard Johnson says. “In our line of work, seconds matter.” The notification will come up on the screen of cars 2018 or newer, or on a cellphone for those using Apple Maps or Waze, Johnson says. “Our cars are getting built so well that you can’t hear the outside environment coming in, so it allows us to penetrate that bubble,” Johnson says. Over 65,000 cars have been alerted so far, according to City of Henderson Officials.

Fire extinguished in Lyon County auto yard
Multiple fire departments teamed up to knock down a fire in an auto recycling yard in Mound House on Friday afternoon. At least half a dozen vehicles appeared burned at B&R Auto Wrecking off Newman Lane, though facility manager Reed King told The Appeal the charred vehicles were mostly scrap. Emergency crews responded to the blaze around 2:10 p.m., including firefighters from Lyon and Storey counties and Carson City, as well as Nevada Highway Patrol troopers. According to Central Lyon County Fire Chief Rich Harvey, the fire was controlled within 20 minutes. He said the cause of the fire was under investigation. No injuries were reported. Harvey couldn’t confirm or deny the fire started east of the property on BLM land. He said fires leave footprints, and investigators would interview witnesses and gather evidence.
