This afternoon my wife and I were out shopping and as we were on our way home we saw a large plum of smoke. I told her it looked really close to where we live at and she said that she thought that it was on the stripe (Las Vegas Blvd). I had left my cell phone at home when we left and I have a scanner app on the phone.
The initial call came in at 12:16pm and I listened to the archive tape and I could hear the 1st due Engine say they had a working fire and a lot of smoke showing.
The First Due Engine was Engine 32 which is right next door to the Cosmo.
By the time I got close to the fire this is what I saw as far as smoke conditions being produced. The fire was in the Bamboo Pool area which is on the 14th Floor of the Hotel.
There was not a lot of smoke at this this point and time.
