LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A woman was taken to the hospital with minor second-degree burns and a dog died after a two-alarm fire at a home in west Las Vegas on Tuesday morning, according to Las Vegas Fire and Rescue.
LVFR said crews responded just before noon to a two-story home on Clear Blue Drive near Desert Inn and Fort Apache roads.
When crews arrived, they began an "offensive strategy" before the fire was upgraded to a two-alarm, according to LVFR.
The fire spread from the residence's casita and extended to a neighboring home "without directly involving it," fire officials said.
Investigators are working to determine which property caught fire first and the cause of the blaze.
LVFR said the American Red Cross is providing resources to those affected.
