Firefighters went to a fire last night at an elementary school in east Las Vegas.
The fire happened at Laura Dearing Elementary School on Ferndale Street near S. Lamb Boulevard and E. Vegas Valley Drive. Clark County Fire crews and Clark County School District police went to the fire.
The fire was in a part of the school that was being taken down with very few things that could catch fire and no utilities connected. This helped stop the fire from spreading. No one was inside the building where the fire was.
It looks like there was damage to the roof, doors, and windows of a classroom building on the west side of the campus. The damage is estimated at $25,000.
The cause of the fire is being investigated.
