Fire departments respond to house fire

Several people were displaced this past Friday morning in the 600 block of Avenue D as a result of a house fire.

The fire, according to BCFD’s Acting Chief Greg Chesser, started around 7:30 a.m. with the apparent cause being someone using an unattended hot plate to cook.

“There was heavy smoke with fire showing in the front,” he said of when the first crew arrived.

Sixteen personnel responded from Boulder City Fire Department with Henderson Fire Department sending an additional 15, which is standard response for structure fire for HFD. The original information from the city stated that four families had been displaced by the fire. On Monday, Chesser clarified that statement.

“Apologies, as the occupants were not truly families, but individuals in four separate apartment units,” he said. “A total of seven people.”

None of the seven sustained injuries as a result of the fire.

BCFD provided information to those seven individuals from American Red Cross, and the property owner is currently assisting the residents, Chesser said.

“The Boulder City Fire Department reminds everybody, especially this time of year, to take extra special precautions, when cooking or using heaters,” he added.

Decrease in tourists could affect budget

Eagle-eyed followers of city government may have noticed multiple references by city officials over the past year to expect shortfalls in the Boulder City budget over the next few years. It is a fact of life for city staff, and the big decrease in tourism to the region is poised to make the situation even more dire.
