A downtown Las Vegas apartment was damaged by fire early Thursday afternoon.
Fire dispatchers received calls for two apartment fires downtown at 1:43 p.m. Thursday on Stewart Avenue near North Eastern Avenue, according to a release from Las Vegas Fire and Rescue.
As firefighters responded, a column of smoke was seen coming from an apartment complex in the 200 block of Flower Avenue, the release said. Firefighters found the two calls were actually the same complex.
Heavy black smoke and fire were showing from a downstairs apartment of a two-story, four-unit apartment building, the release said. The fire was on the front patio near the front door of the apartment. The fire broke through front window of the apartment just as firefighters arrived.
