Investigators were going room-by-room Monday at a downtown
Las Vegas apartment building where six people were killed and 13 injured in a
fire over the weekend to determine what started the blaze.
City officials said at a news conference Monday morning that investigators were also looking into claims from some residents that smoke or fire alarms weren't working properly and some residents were using stoves to stay warm because the building didn't have heat.
Las Vegas City Councilman Councilman Cedric Crear, who represents the neighborhood mixing downtown entertainment and bars with aging apartment motels, said he assured residents that the city would conduct a thorough investigation.
