7-25-2015 Cosmopolitan Hotel Fire, Las Vegas, NV

[mesquite5010]

All of the rigs lined up on Harmon. One of the biggest concerns of the Command officer was Utilities to the Pool Deck and the 14 th floor. Also at one point and time it was wanted to know if the ATF was needed for the fire. I has been reported that it was either a cig that was thrown from a balcony or on that was carelessly discarded on the pool deck The fire could have been a lot worse there were only two injuries one went to the hospital and was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene. There were several other calls around the area at the time of the fire for people complaining of trouble breathing.

 

We were very lucky this day it could have been worse. Thank you for viewing the pictures and I am glad in this case I did not get any pictures of the brothers in action.

 

Not all of our fires in hotels have been so lucky. The Las Vegas Sun printed a list of major hotel fires here and here is the link. As I get more and more information on the fire I will list it.
