North Las Vegas fire destroys home, displaces 6 people
A fire in a north valley neighborhood destroyed a two-story home and displaced six people, according to the North Las Vegas Fire Department.
Firefighters were called just after 3:30 p.m. to 4717 Granite Cove Court., near Lone Mountain Road and Donna Street, where fire and smoke were coming from a two-story, single-family home.
The house is believed to be a total loss, Fire Captain Cedric Williams said Wednesday evening. Damage is estimated at $296,000, including the house and all its contents.
The American Red Cross is assisting four adults and three children who were home at the time of the fire. No residents or firefighters were injured in the blaze, Williams said.
Fire investigators believe the fire was started accidentally, Williams said. The cause and origin of the fire were not immediately available.
