Updated January 28, 2018 - 6:17 pm

A person died in a central valley apartment fire Sunday afternoon.

The Clark County Fire Department responded about 4 p.m. to an apartment fire at 605 S. Royal Crest Circle, near Twain Avenue and Swenson Street, fire officials said.

When firefighters arrived, they discovered a smoldering fire in one of the apartments. A person found inside the apartment died, officials said.

No other details were immediately available.

A man was killed in another fire in the east valley late Friday after he went inside the burning home to save his pets. Earlier Friday, fire officials found a body in an RV in the northwest valley after extinguishing a fire in the vehicle.
