The Las Vegas fire scene.
In a city already on edge from the mass shooting, people grew concerned when they saw large plumes of smoke in Las Vegas on October 9 that clearly came from a fire.
Although some believed the blaze was situated in a Wynn property, the Encore, that wasn’t the case. The Las Vegas Fire Department said on Twitter that the fire derived from plastic pipes burning near a warehouse on Desert Inn Road. The warehouse itself was not burning, according to the Fire Department.
