Unless the "Mob" was behind it, or there's some unidentifiable body in the midst, sad to say, there's just not enough drama to make the headlines.
But we're glad to hear the news regardless. Craig L.

But the fact is that yesterday (Monday) we had two more fires in Las Vegas. Both Saved by Sprinklers! Where is the national/world news reporting on these? Yes we issued an official news release for both. As we all know, these stories will be burried on the back page. Details below. One Queensrige Place: (Twin Tower High-Rise Condo Complex) Fire in pump/chemical room for swimming pool/spa. Cardboard boxes caught fire. Careless smoking believed to be the cause. Automatic sprinkler in the room confined and extinguished fire. Smoke held to the room. Santa Fe Hotel/Casino - Attached Multiplex Movie Theater: Fire in theatre, smoke inside when firefighters arrived, fire put out by automatic sprinkler. Firefighters made sure fire was out and help with clean up. Cause under investigation, but it appears suspicious. Investigators are not sure if it was intentional or malicious. Theatres were evacuated when firefighters arrived. No injuries. Automatic sprinkles kept damage to a minimum, and from spreading. Was second save by automatic sprinklers in the city today, the other a fire in the One Queensridge hi-rise condo building this morning.
