Clark County Fire Department confirmed the fire was eventually extinguished after crews had difficulties accessing the source.
Ten engines, four truck companies, six rescues, four battalion chiefs, one deputy chief and two air rescue units, totalling 77 personnel responded, reports Fox5.
“Firefighting efforts were extremely difficult due to the location of the fire and access to the location,” assistant fire chief Larry Haydu said.
