LAS VEGAS (AP) - An official says a woman found burned in an apartment where firefighters quickly doused a fire died of her injuries.

Clark County Fire Chief Greg Cassell said Tuesday the cause of the 7 p.m. Monday fire at a complex a few blocks west of the Las Vegas Strip is being investigated by fire officials and police.

Cassell says paramedics treated the woman while firefighters quelled flames just outside the kitchen, but she died at an area hospital.



The Clark County coroner didn’t immediately identify the woman, pending notification of family members.

Cassell says neighboring apartments were not damaged by fire, smoke or water.
