“We arrived to find the two-storey section of the main center of the mall of the mall of the mall with heavy fire and smoke, which is shown from the roof,” said Clark Thomas Taynstone Deputy Head of County County. “We have messages that started from behind.”
The black smoke from the fire was visible through the valley in Las Vegas. Touchstone said passers -by called the flame. Most of the business in the complex has not yet been opened for the day.
No injuries are currently being reported, Touchstone said. “We do not know at the moment if there are casualties because we have not been able to seek the basic employment and it will take us a few hours.”
Under heavy flames, the center of the building collapsed, creating a dangerous situation for firefighters.
Touchstone said crews were defensive to protect the flames from destroying the northern and southern ends of the two -storey complex. As a result, these parts of the building had minimal damage.
Between 100 to 125 firefighters responded, as well as between 40 to 50 metropolitan police officers in Las Vegas.
Subway police said traffic was closed in both directions of Maryland Parkway between Harmon Avenue and University Road.
