Central Las Vegas Valley fire linked to burning fiberglass pipes

By Blake Apgar Las Vegas Review-Journal

A large pile of fiberglass pipes caught fire behind a business, leading to a central valley fire that sent a large plume of black smoke into the sky Monday evening, fire officials said.

In a statement, the Las Vegas and Clark County fire departments responded about 5:45 p.m. to the 3200 block of West Desert Inn Road, near Interstate 15.

Nobody was hurt and no buildings were damaged in the fire, but the contractor who owned the pipes said they were worth about $50,000.

The fire’s cause is under investigation.
