Firefighters respond to fire at Fontainebleau, no injuries reported
A fire broke out at Fontainebleau Las Vegas late Sunday evening, a spokesperson confirmed.
“The call came in for Fontainebleau at 8:47 p.m. and this was reported as a fire on the 36th floor, with smoke in the hallways and one of the rooms,” said Clark County Fire Chief John Steinbeck.
Security officers evacuated people on the 36th floor, he said.
“It was quickly contained and there were no injuries,” Fontainbleau said in an emailed statement.
“The fire emerged from a heating unit in the casino-hotel,” Steinbeck said. Fire Department personnel were able to contain the fire to a single room, he added.
Forty-five firefighters responded to the fire, Steinbeck said. That, he noted, is no cause for alarm because the department usually deploys more units to respond to fires in high-rise buildings, he said.
A previous version of this story incorrectly attributed Fontainebleau’s company statement.
