Two adults were displaced after a house burned Sunday morning near West Washington Avenue and Martin Luther King Boulevard.

Las Vegas Fire Department firefighters responded to the Bonanza Village subdivision at 8:42 a.m. after several reports of black smoke coming from a one-story home at 1810 Gold Hill Ave. Arriving firefighters saw heavy smoke and flames.
A large patio cover attached to the home was on fire; the blaze extended to the interior of the house.
