LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -
Investigators said a two-alarm fire at an east Las Vegas apartment complex started from a heated pan on a kitchen stove.
Clark County Fire Department reported the blaze at Sonoma Shadows apartments in the 1700 block of Karen Avenue, near Maryland Parkway and Sahara Avenue.
The fire broke out at around 5:45 p.m. and took firefighters about 30 minutes to knock down because it spread to the attic of the two story apartment.
The four units on the second floor received extensive smoke and fire damage. The four first floor units sustained water damage. All of the units are uninhabitable and at least 20 occupants are displaced. The Red Cross is working with those who were displaced.
No one was injured in the fire. Damage is estimated at $650,000.
The complex was the scene of another fire back in July that injured several people and displaced nearly 50 people.
