Nevada officials have ordered inspections at apartment complexes deemed susceptible to fire in the aftermath of deadly Las Vegas fire.
The Las Vegas Sun reports the increase in inspections is intended as proactive fire prevention following the Alpine Motel Apartment fire that killed six people and injured 13.
The Dec. 21 fire was the deadliest in Las Vegas city limits. Department of Building and Fire Prevention Director Jerry Stueve tells the Clark County Commission that inspectors will focus on apartments and non-transient motel-hotel residencies with center hallways and exits on either side, similar to the Alpine Motel layout.
