A Las Vegas woman is being held in the Clark County Detention Center after being charged with one count of Arson First Degree for allegedly setting her northwest Las Vegas condo on fire just after midnight, Friday morning.
No one was injured during the incident.
At least eight people are receiving assistance from the American Red Cross.
Fire dispatchers received a call at 12:36 a.m. Friday, Nov. 2, that smoke was coming from a condo unit in the 3500 block of Winterhaven Street near Cheyenne Avenue and Rainbow Boulevard.
When crews arrived at the scene, smoke was showing from a two-story condominium building with four condo units.
As firefighters approached the ground level condo unit, they encountered a woman trying to put the fire out with a garden hose. They took the woman from the condo unit and asked the paramedics to check her out for possible smoke inhalation.
