Fire chief to share update on massive Maule Avenue fire
Officials are set to share an update on a massive fire that destroyed an apartment building under construction in the southwest Las Vegas Valley in June.
John Steinbeck, chief of the Clark County Fire Department, is scheduled to speak at 9 a.m. Thursday at Station 18, 575 E. Flamingo Road, about the June 20 blaze at 8030 Maule Ave., near the 215 Beltway and South Buffalo Drive, which produced flames that could be seen for miles and a smoke plume that could be seen across the valley.
Nobody was killed or injured in the inferno, which burned for four days and was finally extinguished at 5 p.m. on June 24, Steinbeck had previously said.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has assisted in the investigation.
