Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The Clark County Fire Department was called to a fire at a gun range late Friday night.

It happened around 11:20 p.m. at Machine Guns on Aldebaran Avenue, near I-15 and Spring Mountain Road.

Officials said two men were doing maintenance welding work in a gun range inside the building, when air filtering material caught fire.

Building sprinklers helped keep the fire in check while firefighters quickly extinguished remaining hot spots.

The welders were able to get out of the building safely. However, they were transported to UMC with minor injuries.

The cause of the fire is considered accidental.

Damage is estimated at $100,000, mostly due to water damage from the sprinklers.

The business was closed at the time this incident occurred.
