East Las Vegas house destroyed in early morning fire
A two-story house in the east valley was completely destroyed after catching fire early Monday morning, fire officials said.
Clark County firefighters responded to reports of a blaze at 736 Radwick Drive and arrived to find the large, vacant home fully engulfed. According to the Clark County Fire Department, the property was under renovation, and the only occupied area was a back casita, which the fire had also reached.
The occupants of the casita were safely evacuated and uninjured, officials said. The fire was fully contained by 6:46 a.m.
About 60 personnel using engines, air resources, and more, responded to the fire. The Clark County Fire Department was assisted by the Metropolitan Police Department, Las Vegas Fire &Rescue, NV Energy, Southwest Gas, and the Las Vegas Valley Water District.
The main house was declared a total loss, while the casita sustained moderate exterior damage. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, fire officials said.
