Riviera Casino generator room fire

The second fire at a Casino this morning occurred a little over an hour later at the Riviera Hotel and Casino.

The call for this fire was received at 5:39 am for a fire in the generator room

When firefighters arrived they found heavy smoke in the generator room located on the fourth floor of the hotel.

The fire at the generator room at the Riviera was contained only to that room and the fire was put out approximately 20 minutes later, according to My News 3.

Fortunately there were no injuries reported for either fire.

It seems that Clark County firefighters were very busy this morning.

In addition to the two casino fires there was a serious fire in Las Vegas that occurred at 3:11 am this morning near Valley View Blvd. and Warm Springs Rd.

Fire displaces family

It wasn’t clear from reports if the fire either started in an outside fire pit or from the fireplace.

The fire apparently spread through the house and even though it was extinguished quickly, the damage is extensive

Family members were able to escape, however all of the family’s pets did not. One dog and one cat unfortunately died.

The damages to the home has been reported to be in the $150,000-$200,000 range.

The red Cross is assisting the family.
