Nobody injured in fire at two-story vacant house in central valley
Firefighters battled a vacant two-story house fire in the central valley early Thursday.
Clark County Fire Department crews were dispatched shortly after 6:10 a.m. to 5150 Amanda Lane, near East Tropicana Avenue and South Sandhill Road, according to a news release by Assistant Fire Chief Larry Haydu.
The fire was reported by multiple callers. First arriving crews reported smoke coming from the second floor of a vacant house. An additional two engines were called in a second alarm.
Crews conducted an offensive interior attack and the fire on the first floor was knocked down at 6:26 a.m.
The stairs to the second floor had been burned away, forcing the use of ladders to reach fire on the second floor. That fire was knocked down at 06:33 a.m.
A search of the home found it to be vacant. There were no injuries reported.
Fire investigators have been requested to determine the cause.
