One Severely Burned in Senior Complex Fire

Reporter: AP

NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) - Authorities say a woman is in
critical condition with burns on about 80 percent of her body after
a fire broke out overnight at a North Las Vegas senior citizens
complex.

Crews responded about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday to the Salvation Army
Silvercrest Apartments and found one unit filled with smoke and the
resident suffering severe burns. She was taken to University
Medical Center.

Firefighters used large fans to move smoke out of the apartment
and salvage other units. The main fire was put out by sprinklers.

No firefighters and no other residents were hurt in the fire.

Officials are still investigating.
