There are multiple recent fires reported in Las Vegas:
- A massive fire at an apartment building construction site in North Las Vegas occurred early August 2025. It involved multiple three-story apartment buildings under construction near North 5th Street and East Centennial Parkway. One construction worker suffered potentially life-threatening injuries after jumping from an upper story to escape. A firefighter was also hospitalized for heat-related illness but released. The fire was contained after heavy flames and smoke. The cause is under investigation. Nearby buildings were checked for heat damage.
- A large fire destroyed a business/shopping complex across from the UNLV campus on Maryland Parkway near Tropicana Avenue in late July 2025. The fire affected at least 8 businesses, caused partial building collapse, and is about 90% contained. No injuries reported so far. Officials are investigating the cause.
- A Las Vegas man admitted to setting fire to the police headquarters recently for attention.
