LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — On Sunday morning at about 11:24 a.m., the Clark County Fire Department (CCFD) responded to a report of a fire at the Sunset Motel located at 6000 Boulder Highway.

Fire crews responding included four engine companies, one ladder truck, two rescues, and two battalion chiefs that totaled 26 responders.
