LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Las Vegas firefighters say a Thursday night time fireplace that engulfed a house within the west valley led to a complete loss.
Jeff Corrales was at a member of the family’s soccer follow close to the home when flames broke out on the dwelling. “Towards the end, we just seen the flames right here over this wall, and we’re like, what’s going on?”
He and a gaggle of different adults instantly sprang into motion.
“We’re just, you know, concerned citizens,” Corrales stated. “A bunch of parents just hopped over, tried to yell, see if anybody was in, you know, do what we could try to save the house, too. But it was pretty big.”

And massive it was — the hearth was escalated to a two-alarm fireplace. Las Vegas firefighters say they’d to make use of two fireplace hydrants to battle the flames. Water flowed so powerfully that it streamed into the neighboring All American Park, flooding elements of the grass area.
Regardless of the hearth’s measurement — Corrales and the others hopped the wall to assist.
“When I made my way to the front door, there’s a big glass thing right above the front door,” Corrales stated. “That blew as soon as I was trying to press the intercom to try to see if anybody could answer, you know, alert anybody. But that glass blew, and I was like, holy crap, it’s that hot inside.”
Residents weren’t dwelling on the time, so nobody was damage. Las Vegas firefighters say one canine is lacking.
