Most days when I leave work I put on the PulsePoint Live Dispatch Radio here in Las Vegas. Today I did not for some reason. I was at Pecos and Desert Inn when I got a text message that there was a working fire in the area of East Charlston and North Lamb. Being as this was the way I sometimes go home I looked in that direction and saw a large column of smoke. All pictures were taken with my Cell Phone as that's all I had with me

 

On Scene Units

I put on the Live Radio Feed as soon as I could safely. When I was close I saw smoke in the area still and decided to take in the fire.

 

After parking and getting close this is what I saw. Now sorry about the quality but all I had with me was my cell phone.

 



 



 



 

I will post more in the morning. I am still working on getting the pictures fixed and making a video of the fire.

Last few of the crews there really wasn't much to see once I got there they had called a Knockdown of the exterior fire and were working on clean up and getting a handle of the fire in the attic. At one time it was reported that a child was trapped in the original fire unit but that turned out to be wrong thank god and the child was with a neighbor,

What does the "CBRNE" stand for? Great shots by the way.

This is basically the HazMat response unit. The four major departments in the county each have a CBRNE Unit and each has at least one Engine Company that carries that Designation.
