An early morning fire that left six people dead and 13 others injured is being considered"the worst fire fatality" in Las Vegas Fire Department history, officials said.
When firefighters arrived at the Alpine Motel Apartments, several people were hanging from the second floor windows and"some have jumped," including a pregnant woman, Szymanski said at a press conference on Saturday.The fire seemed to spark inside an apartment on the first floor and was put out quickly, the official said.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's homicide investigators were on the scene, but fire officials ruled the fire"accidental and not criminal."Ten people, including five who were critically injured, were taken to a nearby hospital, officials said. Three of the victims took themselves to the hospital, authorities added.
