2 people displaced, 1 dog dead in central Las Vegas fire
Two people were displaced after a Sunday night fire at an apartment complex in the central valley.
The Clark County Fire Department responded about 7:30 p.m. to reports of a fire at the Pinewood Apartments, 764 E. Twain Ave., near Swenson Street, Assistant Fire Chief Troy Tuke said.
Tuke said crews arriving at the scene saw fire and heavy smoke coming from a ground-floor apartment. The building was evacuated, Tuke said, and firefighters extinguished the fire before it could spread to other apartments.
No one was injured, but a dog was found dead inside the apartment that caught fire. The American Red Cross was called in to help two people displaced by the fire.
The fire caused about $40,000 in damage, and is still under investigation.
